Children love to play and be active. To benefit their health, children over 5 years of age should be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day. It doesn't need to be a structured sport, anything that gets them up and moving will help.

Fewer than 1 out of 4 children aged 5 to 14 years get the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

Encouraging your child to be physically active every day will help them stay active and healthy through adolescence and adulthood.

Try to encourage your child to sit less and move more.
