A World Health Organisation study has found Australia ranks just 97th in the world when it comes to the number of people getting enough physical activity.
Almost a third of Australians aren't getting enough exercise, according to new research by the World Health Organisation.
The study tracking self-reported activity levels has found 30.4 per cent of Australian adults didn't reach the recommended level of physical activity for staying healthy in 2016.
Australia ranked 97-out-of-168 countries involved in the study for the number of people being sufficiently active.
The study found that more than 1.4 billion adults are putting themselves at heightened risk of deadly diseases by not getting enough exercise, doctors are warning, with global activity levels virtually unchanged in nearly two decades.
