No, it is not true. Adolescents need as much physical activity as an adult. The human body was meant to move not be immobile. Physical activity for all ages, is good for mental health as well as physical health.
The WHO guidelines recommend that adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week. Children and adolescents should do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily. These guidelines should be followed by everyone to maintain good health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Adults are generally 18+, adolescents are 13-17 and children are 12-.

present lever of physical activity
because they will die
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), children and adolescents (ages 6 to 17) should do 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day. Adults (ages 18 to 64) should do at least 2 and a half hours (150 minutes) of moderate or intensive aerobic activity each week, along with muscle strengthening activity at least 2 days a week. Adults 65 and older can do the same as the adult category, as long as they are generally fit and have no limiting health conditions.
Teens are more vulnerable than adults when it comes to trauma. Adults are better equipped to cope with it because adults brains are already fully developed and have better coping skills than adolescents.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), children and adolescents (ages 6 to 17) should do 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day. Adults (ages 18 to 64) should do at least 2 and a half hours (150 minutes) of moderate or intensive aerobic activity each week, along with muscle strengthening activity at least 2 days a week. Adults 65 and older can do the same as the adult category, as long as they are generally fit and have no limiting health conditions.
Not necessarily, but physical fitness and exercise and diet need to be approached differently for children, adolescents, and adults. Consult with a pediatrician or physical education specialist on specific guidelines.

Adolescents are typically individuals between the ages of 13-19 who are experiencing physical, emotional, and cognitive changes associated with puberty and transitioning into adulthood. Adults, on the other hand, are individuals who have reached full physical and cognitive maturity, usually around the age of 20 or older, and are expected to take on more responsibilities and make independent decisions in various aspects of life.
