How Much Physical Activity Do Youth Need? Children and adolescents should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity daily. Aerobic Activities: Most of the 60 or more minutes per day should be either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity. Include vigorous-intensity physical activity at least 3 days per week. Muscle-strengthening Activities: Include muscle-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days of the week, as part of the 60 or more minutes. Bone-strengthening Activities: Include bone-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days of the week, as part of the 60 or more minutes. Activities should be age-appropriate, enjoyable, and offer variety.

What Does This Really Mean? At least 60 minutes every day Mostly aerobic activities Add variety and fun
Slide 7-

What are Aerobic Activities? Activities that keep your body moving enough to increase your heart rate and make you breathe harder. There are two intensities of aerobic activity: Moderate-intensity Vigorous-intensity
Slide 8-

Judging the Intensity of Aerobic Activities Moderate-intensity Activity Heart will beat faster than normal and breathing will be harder than normal On a scale of 0 to 10, moderate-intensity activity is a 5 or 6 Vigorous-intensity Activity Heart will beat much faster than normal and breathing will be much harder than normal On a scale of 0 to 10, a vigorous-intensity activity is 7 or 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Types of Moderate- and Vigorous- Intensity Aerobic Activities

What are Muscle-Strengthening Activities? Activities that make muscles do more work than usual activities of daily life Activities that can be part of unstructured play Climbing trees Playing tug-of-war Activities that can be structured Push-ups, pull-ups Working with resistance bands Lifting weights

Types of Muscle-Strengthening Activities
Slide 12-

What Are Bone-Strengthening Activities? Activities that produce a force on the bones that promotes bone growth and strength, such as jumping Activities that are especially important for young people because the greatest gain in bone mass occur during the years just before and during puberty

Types of Bone-strengthening Activities
Slide 14-

How Are the Guidelines for Youth Different from the Guidelines for Adults? Take into consideration natural activity patterns of children All episodes of moderate- or vigorous-intensity activities count toward daily requirement Unstructured active play can provide all three types of physical activity Daily physical activity required Specify need for bone-strengthening activities and vigorous-intensity activities each week

Meeting the Guidelines Getting and Staying Active
