Madam, - I am sure that the school of physiotherapy at Trinity College Dublin could find a better use for expensive research resources than to discover, as you headlined, that "young boys need more exercise than girls" (Health Supplement, April 10th). Why, the next thing we may hear is that someone has started an elaborate project to show that, not many years later, those same boyos need more girls than exercise.

- Yours, etc,
