The critical connection between physical inactivity and fertility in India

India, known for its rich cultural tapestry and history is witnessing a population boom. However, amidst this rise, a concerning trend has emerged: growing infertility rates in both men and women. Historically, India has had a high fertility rate but modern lifestyle, delayed childbearing due to career pursuits, environmental and other factors are attributed to increasing infertility among couples. Among these changes, physical inactivity stands out as a critical factor, affecting most Indians.

India's population is becoming less physically active as a result of the country's fast urbanization, rapid technological development, and shifting lifestyles. There has been a noticeable change towards sedentary behavior as a result of many people not reaching prescribed levels of physical exercise. This has important implications for public health, especially with regard to reproduction.
