Physical Activity Guidelines for Children

Physical activity guidelines for children recommend at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity daily. This includes activities like running, jumping, biking, and playing sports that get their heart rate up and strengthen muscles and bones. Children should also include activities that make them stretch and improve flexibility. It's important for children to stay active regularly for healthy growth, developmental skills, and overall well-being. Encouraging a variety of fun activities helps children enjoy movement and develop lifelong healthy habits.
