| Age group | Recommended minimum |
|---|---|
| Children and adolescents, 5–17 years | At least 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity every day. Include activities that strengthen muscles and bones at least 3 days a week. More than 60 minutes a day can provide additional benefits. |
| Adults, 18–64 years | At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity across the week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, or an equivalent combination. |
Adults can aim for 300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week for additional health benefits, and should do muscle-strengthening activities involving the major muscle groups on at least 2 days a week. The supplied material does not give recommendations for children under 5 or adults aged 65 and over.
