This picture represents several aspects of studying history. When you first look at this image you get the bias of how kids these days aren't as athletic as parents were when they were younger. But this is unreliable because you don't know how much exercise the kids do during the day and what exercise their parents did when they were younger. As well as everyone did a different amount of exercise that would be relatively different to the kids. It also makes you think that from technology advancement, not as many kids are getting outside and exercising rather than staying and watching TV. As it says when the dad on the couch says "I had to walk to the TV to change the channel" it makes you think that nowadays with remote controls to change the TV channel we don't get up more often. To get a better understanding of this picture you need background knowledge of how much exercise the parents used to do versus the amount of exercise kids do know to get the right perspective/argument. But, based on what the image shows you would infer that kids these days get less exercise.
