Laura Ward, a researcher from Britain's premier sports university, Loughborough, has urged schools to cut competitive sports in favour of individual pursuits. Miss Ward believs schools should promote activities such as stretching at the expense of team games such as netball, hockey, football and rugby.

She says too few schools teach helath related exercise - a requirement o timetables since 1992 - properly. Source: Evening Standard
