teenage EYE Why you should move your body today Our teenage writer, Sophie De’Ath (left), speaks to fellow <strong>Dronfield</strong> Henry Fanshawe School student Issy Waugh about the benefits of mixing study with physical activity W ITH exam season approaching and stress levels on the rise, it is common for teenagers’ mental health to worsen, with a reported spike in the number of teenagers calling ChildLine with concerns about exam worries. This month I talk to Issy Waugh, a 15-year-old who knows all about what it takes to balance the pressures of school work with a busy sporting schedule. Issy is a triathlete who trains every day and has done since she was very young. She used to run together with her sister, eventually progressing to swimming as well. Being surrounded by fellow sports people, Issy was inspired by her peers who were triathletes and added running to her training regime. She soon realised that she enjoyed combining these three sports and since then has completed many races, her proudest achievement being running for England and achieving second place! Issy made it clear that her training not only supports her physically, allowing her to win numerous races, but also is successful in improving her mental health. As a GCSE student, Issy is familiar with revision and the feeling of stress that comes with it. She explained how exercising is amazing for the feeling of escapism from school work and boosting her mood and mindset, allowing her to maximise her productivity when revising.

Issy Waugh strides out She also emphasised how beneficial it can be to exercise with friends, as it can be a great social activity, as well as the importance of being outdoors and away from a screen while you do sport. Although the feeling that follows exercise is amazing, Issy made it clear that - like most of us - she doesn’t always feel like exercising. However, she always remains committed as she “thinks of the bigger picture”, always keeping in mind the feeling after exercising. With the shocking report from the World Health Organisation of over 80% of adolescents not meeting the requirements of 60 minutes exercise a day, I believe the pledge to get teenagers more active is hugely important, especially ahead of exam season. This increase in movement should support their physical and mental health and should help to keep the stress levels at a minimum. As Issy said, it doesn’t have to be big, just get out and move your body. And don’t forget, if you see Issy on the Olympic podium one day, she gave her first interview right here!
