3. How much activity is sufficient?
Source: WHO
The WHO recommends that adults aged 18 or over should undertake, either:
• 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (equivalent
to around 20 minutes per day); or
• 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity activity; or
• an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous activity.
For children and adolescents aged 5-17, the guidelines are more demanding:
• At least 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic
physicalactivity
