Children in Wales are doing less sport than they were four years ago, a major survey of 116,000 seven to 16-year-olds has suggested.

Sport Wales found 36% were not doing any activities outside of their school PE lessons, compared with 28% in 2018.

Chairwoman Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson said the results showed a "major shift" was needed to make it "more inclusive".

Welsh Youth Parliament member Maddie Malpas, a keen sportsperson, said taking part was too expensive for some.
