        High school freshman football, double practice day, and I went home sore to ride my bike around to get rid of the lactic acid as I'd learned in health class. I felt great the next day; everyone else was still sore.

        I remember when Nickelodeon did this when I was a kid. Not sure if they still do.

        This is a good thing to encourage play and the children need more of it. Even at school there needs to be more physical education even if teachers have to team up in the gym and organize activities weekly.

        Should mobile companies do a campaign like this?

        Don't do that in the US, you'll be accused of neglect or "free range parenting".

        @Nickelodeon does this every year during the summer. It's called the World Wide Day of Play. Of course you wouldn't know that cause your not educated. If anything you'd probably end up calling it a liberal propaganda because gov is telling companies what to do.
