It's chicken and egg, it happens n both directions. Unfit kids find walking or riding more difficult, so they don't and thereby get more unfit, and dependent on motor transportation even for short distances.
OTOH - if we can get these kids at least partly car free, walk/ride to school, the park, and local destinations, maybe we can break the cycle and open up the working range.
