The Physical Activity Pie encapsulates the following recommendation
- Health is promoted by moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity of at least 10 minutes that accumulates throughout a week to a total of at least 2 h 30 min per week.
- An alternative is more-demanding, vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity with an accumulation of at least 1 h 15 min per week.
- In addition, everyone needs muscle-strengthening and balance training at least twice a week.
Notice also this
- Activities with different levels of physical demand can be combined according to a person’s own degree of physical fitness.
- It is good to divide physical activity into several, at least three, days a week.
- From the perspective of health, even a small amount of regular physical activity is better than none at all.
