Why is physical activity important for children and young people?
For children/young people between the ages of 5 and 18, the recommended amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day is 60 minutes.
This can include many different activities and has countless benefits to a child's health, including:
- developing social skills
- improving cardiovascular health
- improving bone health
- maintaining a healthy weight
