World Health Organisation Recommendations for Physical Activity

Age Range	Activity Recommendation
5 - 17 years	At least 60 mins/day of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity. More than 60 mins/day provide additional health benefits. Most physical activity should be aerobic, with vigorous activity that strengthens muscles and bones at least 3 times/week.
18 - 64 years	At least 150 mins/week of moderate intensity physical activity OR at least 75 mins/week of vigorous intensity physical activity OR an equivalent combination of both. Bouts of aerobic activity should be at least 10 mins long. Doubling the recommended time spent in moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity will bring additional health benefits. Muscle-strengthening activities using major muscle groups should be done at least twice/week.
