English: Thank you for the opportunity to speak in this debate on physical activity. First of all, I want to reiterate how important it is that children get as much physical activity as possibly, and that physical activity should be built into their days. We don't want to raise a nation of couch potatoes, because we know how good physical activity is for you, as our doctor has just told us. Of course, we know it's very good for mental health as well. Yesterday, there were a lot of mentions of the very moving occasion of the Samaritans event in the Pierhead, when Nigel Owens spoke so movingly about dealing with mental health issues. We do know that physical activity is very good for your mental health. According to Public Health Wales in its 2016 report 'Making a Difference', each year, physical inactivity costs the NHS in Wales £51 million a year and increased cycling and walking in urban areas could save £0.9 billion for the NHS in Wales over 20 years. So, there's a huge amount of difference that could be made to the actual running of our health service. So, I think that the most important thing that we can do is to encourage children to start good, healthy patterns of behaviour from an early stage in life. I do think it's important to remember at this point that many of the activities that children undertake outside school do cost parents quite a bit money. Football clubs, swimming and tennis - parents do actually have to pay out of their pockets for a lot of that. That's why it is so important that much of what is done is built into our education system. I would like to praise the walking bus initiatives, which were mentioned by Lee Waters in his introduction. I would particularly like to praise the walking bus initiative at Ysgol y Wern in my constituency, which is supported now by police colleagues of Sergeant Louise Lucas, who was so tragically killed while crossing a road in Swansea in March last year. Sadly, there has been more publicity about that over the last few days. Her colleagues from Llanishen police station were determined to carry on the walking bus to the school that she had started. I went on the walking bus myself this time last year. I think the walking bus initiative is a really good way of building exercise into children's lives, and I think it's great for parents to know that their children are safe in walking to school. So, I think that that is an initiative that we need to push and spread as much as possible. That particular one was supported by Sustrans and by the local authority and by the police, very strongly. Walking is, of course, the easiest and most accessible activity that we can all build into our lives. That is why I am a big supporter, as are other people here, of the active travel Act and the work that is going on to plan active travel routes for walking and cycling. Lee Waters has already mentioned the - perhaps - failure to engage in the first round of consultation. I believe he said that only 300 responses came in from the whole of Wales on the first consultation. So, I think it's really important now that we do try and get many more views on where the routes should be. I think that if people get engaged in the process of deciding where these routes are, it is much more likely that they will actually use them. The final point that I wanted to make, really, was about some of the gender differences that are there in terms of walking and cycling. A briefing from Sustrans earlier this year pointed out that local authorities should really bear in mind that there is a gender difference in the way that women want to cycle, for example. Women, for instance, are much keener to cycle when there are segregated cycle paths than men are. The other issue is that I think there's a big difference between the number of women who actually do cycle and the number of men. Only 34 per cent of women said in Cardiff that they ride bikes, compared to 66 per cent of men. So, that's really quite a big difference, and, again, that was in Cardiff - a survey carried out by Sustrans. So, I just think we've got to bear in mind when we plan these things that there are specific gender issues that we should look at. Finally, we had the International Day of the Girl yesterday. I think these international days are really important, because it really makes us remember and flag up different issues. I'd just like to quickly mention girls and sport, because, sadly, girls are still lagging behind boys when it comes to taking up physical activity in the form of sports. The most recent figures show that, in terms of those hooked on sport, 52 per cent of boys are hooked; only 44 per cent of girls are hooked. It has gone up, but there's also a big difference between schoolchildren in areas of deprivation and by ethnic group, with Asian girls having the lowest level of participation in sport, with just 28 per cent taking part. So, I think there are lots of issues to look at.
Welsh: Diolch am y cyfle i siarad yn y ddadl hon ar weithgarwch corfforol. Yn gyntaf oll, rwyf am ailadrodd pa mor bwysig yw hi fod plant yn cael cymaint o weithgarwch corfforol â phosibl, a dylid adeiladu'r gweithgarwch corfforol hwnnw'n rhan o'u diwrnod. Nid ydym eisiau magu cenedl o bobl ddiog, gan ein bod yn gwybod pa mor dda yw gweithgaredd corfforol i ni, fel y mae ein meddyg newydd ddweud wrthym. Wrth gwrs, fe wyddom ei fod yn dda iawn ar gyfer iechyd meddwl yn ogystal. Ddoe, roedd llawer o sôn am achlysur emosiynol iawn digwyddiad y Samariaid yn y Pierhead, pan siaradodd Nigel Owens mor deimladwy am ymdopi â phroblemau iechyd meddwl. Rydym yn gwybod bod gweithgarwch corfforol yn dda iawn i'ch iechyd meddwl. Yn ôl Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn ei adroddiad ar gyfer 2016, 'Gwneud Gwahaniaeth', bob blwyddyn, mae anweithgarwch corfforol yn costio £51 miliwn y flwyddyn i'r GIG yng Nghymru a gallai mwy o feicio a cherdded mewn ardaloedd trefol arbed £0.9 biliwn i'r GIG yng Nghymru dros 20 mlynedd. Felly, mae llawer iawn o wahaniaeth y gellid ei wneud i'r ffordd y caiff ein gwasanaeth iechyd ei weithredu. Felly, credaf mai'r peth pwysicaf y gallwn ei wneud yw annog plant i ddechrau patrymau ymddygiad da, iachus o gam cynnar yn eu bywydau. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig cofio ar y pwynt hwn fod llawer o'r gweithgareddau y mae plant yn eu gwneud y tu allan i'r ysgol yn costio cryn dipyn o arian i rieni. Clybiau pêl-droed, nofio a thenis - mae'n rhaid i rieni dalu am lawer o hyn o'u pocedi eu hunain mewn gwirionedd. Dyna pam y mae hi mor bwysig fod llawer o'r hyn sy'n cael ei wneud yn cael ei gynnwys yn rhan o'n system addysg. Hoffwn ganmol y mentrau bysiau cerdded a grybwyllodd Lee Waters yn ei gyflwyniad. Yn benodol, hoffwn ganmol y fenter bws cerdded yn Ysgol y Wern yn fy etholaeth i, sy'n cael ei chefnogi erbyn hyn gan gyd-heddlu y Rhingyll Louise Lucas, a laddwyd mor drasig wrth iddi groesi'r ffordd yn Abertawe ym mis Mawrth y llynedd. Yn anffodus, bu mwy o gyhoeddusrwydd am hynny dros y dyddiau diwethaf. Mae ei chydweithwyr yng ngorsaf yr heddlu Llanisien yn benderfynol o barhau â'r bws cerdded i'r ysgol roedd hi wedi'i ddechrau. Euthum ar y bws cerdded fy hun yr adeg hon y llynedd. Rwy'n meddwl bod y fenter bws cerdded yn ffordd dda iawn o gynnwys ymarfer corff ym mywydau plant, ac rwy'n meddwl ei fod yn wych i rieni wybod bod eu plant yn ddiogel wrth gerdded i'r ysgol. Felly, credaf fod honno'n fenter sydd angen i ni ei hybu a'i rhannu gymaint â phosibl. Cafodd y fenter benodol honno ei chefnogi'n gryf iawn gan Sustrans, yr awdurdod lleol a'r heddlu. Cerdded, wrth gwrs, yw'r gweithgaredd hawsaf a mwyaf hygyrch y gallwn i gyd ei gynnwys yn ein bywydau. Dyna pam rwy'n cefnogi'r Ddeddf teithio llesol yn fawr, fel pobl eraill yma, a'r gwaith sy'n cael ei wneud ar gynllunio llwybrau teithio llesol ar gyfer cerdded a beicio. Mae Lee Waters eisoes wedi crybwyll y methiant - efallai - i ymgysylltu yn y rownd gyntaf o ymgynghori. Rwy'n credu ei fod wedi dweud mai 300 o ymatebion yn unig a ddaeth i law i'r ymgynghoriad cyntaf drwy Gymru gyfan. Felly, rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn yn awr ein bod yn ceisio cael llawer mwy o safbwyntiau ynglŷn â ble y dylai'r llwybrau fod. Os bydd pobl yn cymryd rhan yn y broses o benderfynu ble mae'r llwybrau hyn, mae'n llawer mwy tebygol y byddant yn eu defnyddio. Y pwynt olaf roeddwn am ei wneud, mewn gwirionedd, oedd ynglŷn â rhai o'r gwahaniaethau rhwng y rhywiau sy'n bodoli o ran cerdded a beicio. Roedd gwybodaeth gan Sustrans yn gynharach eleni yn tynnu sylw at y ffaith y dylai awdurdodau lleol gofio bod yna wahaniaeth rhwng y rhywiau yn y ffordd y mae menywod eisiau beicio, er enghraifft. Mae menywod, er enghraifft, yn llawer mwy awyddus na dynion i feicio pan fo llwybrau beicio ar wahân ar gael. Y mater arall yw fy mod yn meddwl bod yna wahaniaeth mawr rhwng nifer y menywod sy'n beicio a nifer y dynion. Dim ond 34 y cant o fenywod yng Nghaerdydd a ddywedodd eu bod yn beicio, o gymharu â 66 y cant o ddynion. Felly, mae hwnnw'n wahaniaeth eithaf mawr, ac unwaith eto, yng Nghaerdydd oedd hynny - arolwg a gynhaliwyd gan Sustrans. Felly, rwy'n meddwl bod yn rhaid i ni gadw mewn cof pan fyddwn yn cynllunio'r pethau hyn fod yna gwestiynau rhyw-benodol y dylem edrych arnynt. Yn olaf, cawsom Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol y Ferch ddoe. Rwy'n meddwl bod y dyddiau rhyngwladol hyn yn bwysig iawn, gan eu bod yn gwneud i ni gofio a thynnu sylw at faterion gwahanol. Hoffwn sôn yn gyflym am ferched a chwaraeon oherwydd, yn anffodus, mae merched yn dal i lusgo ar ôl bechgyn o ran gwneud gweithgarwch corfforol ar ffurf chwaraeon. O ran y rhai sydd â'u bryd ar chwaraeon, mae'r ffigurau diweddaraf yn dangos bod chwaraeon yn mynd â bryd 52 y cant o fechgyn a 44 y cant yn unig o ferched. Mae wedi codi, ond mae yna hefyd wahaniaeth mawr rhwng plant ysgol mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig ac yn ôl grŵp ethnig, gyda'r lefel isaf o gyfranogiad mewn chwaraeon ymhlith merched Asiaidd, gyda 28 y cant yn unig yn cymryd rhan. Felly, rwy'n meddwl bod llawer o bethau i edrych arnynt.
