The Dutch government requires that all children should have adequate local sport and exercise opportunities, which are known to reduce problem behaviour.
The Dutch government therefore encourages links between in-school exercise education and out-of-school sport and exercise. The rationale is that, as well as keeping young people healthy, sport and exercise contribute to their autonomy and engagement with their school and neighbourhood.
