The answer is 60 minutes of physical activity every day

Children aged 5-11 and youth aged 12-17 should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily. But more is even better!

To make the most of their physical activity, children and youth should try to include:

• vigorous-intensity activities at least three days per week
• activities that strengthen muscle and bone at least three days per week
