World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on physical activity for children

The World Health Organization recommends that children and adolescents aged 5-17 engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. This includes activities like running, cycling, playing sports, or active play, which help improve their health, strengthen muscles and bones, and promote mental well-being. Children should also limit their sedentary time, especially screen time like TV and video games, and try to include activities that enhance flexibility and strength at least three times a week. These guidelines aim to support healthy growth, development, and overall well-being.
