Physical activity is essential for children for normal growth, development and general well-being. Positive experiences with physical activity in childhood increase the likelihood that people will develop lifestyles that include regular physical activity in adulthood.

Children and adolescents should limit their sedentary time. Exchanging sedentary time with physical activity of any intensity, including low intensity, positively affects health.

• All children should engage in physical activity every day

• For at least 60 minutes a day on average, the physical activity should be moderate to vigorous

• At least 3 days a week, vigorous activities that strengthen muscles and bones should be included
