CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — In recent years, children in West Virginia have consistently ranked in the top 10 in the U.S. when it comes to childhood obesity, per State of Childhood Obesity. However, a new study has revealed that West Virginia kids are pushing back against this statistic by getting active.

According to a study from AAA State of Play, 27.5% of children in West Virginia aged 6-17 participate in physical activity for at least an hour every day. This places them at fourth in the country when it comes to this metric and only .3% behind third-place Montana.
