At the beginning of the new year at school, we remember some main guidelines to promote the movement among children and adolescents.
- Children and adolescents should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity daily.
- Most of the 1 hour or more a day should be either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aereobic physical activity.
- As part of their daily physical activity, children and adolescents should do vigorous-intensity physical activity on at least 3 days a week. They also should do muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening activity on at least 3 days of the week.
- Work with the children and adolescents with special needs should be done identifying with their health care provider the type and amounys of physival activity appropriate to them. When possible they should meet the guidelines for children and adolescents – or as much activity as their condition allows. Children and adolescents should avoid being inactive.
