PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND INACTIVITY
Physical Activity
- is defined as a body movement that is
produced by the contraction of skeletal
muscles and that substantially increases
energy expenditure.
- should not be confused with “exercise”
Exercise is a subcategory of physical activity
that is planned, structured, repetitive, and aims to
improve or maintain one or more components of
physical fitness.
- is any body movement that works your
muscle and requires more energy than
resting.
- examples of physical activity include:
exercise, transport to get to and from places
Recommended Physical Activity Level
Children and Adolescents aged 5-17
 should do at least 60 minutes of moderate
to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily.
 Physical activity of amounts greater than 60
minutes daily will provide additional health
benefits.
 should include activities that strengthen
muscle and bone, at least 3 times per week.
Adults aged 18-64
 should do at least 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity physical activity
throughout the week,
 or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-
intensity physical activity throughout the
week,
 or an equivalent combination of moderate-
and vigorous-intensity activity.
 For additional health benefits, adults should
increase their moderate-intensity physical
activity to 300 minutes per week, or
equivalent.
 Muscle-strengthening activities should be
done involving major muscle groups on 2 or
more days a week.
Adults aged 64 above
 should do at least 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity physical activity
throughout the week,
 or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity
physical activity throughout the week,
 or an equivalent combination of moderate-
and vigorous-intensity activity.
 Those with poor mobility should perform
physical activity to enhance balance and
prevent falls, 3 or more days per week.
 Muscle-strengthening activities should be
done involving major muscle groups, 2 or
more days a week.
Moderate-Vigorous Physical Activity
You can choose how intense are your
activities, or a mix of both each week. Activities can
be considered vigorous, moderate, or light in
intensity. This depends on the extent to which they
make you breathe harder and your heart beat
faster.
