Children's Fitness

How Much Exercise is Enough?

While there isn't a set level of activity that makes a child fit, researchers at Arizona State University developed what is called the Children's Lifetime Physical Activity Model. The researchers recommended three or more 30-minute sessions of moderate activity a week, plus three or more daily sessions of moderate-vigorous activity, which together equals at least 60 minutes a week. A couple of games of tag or dodge ball at playground time and an after-school bike ride will easily meet a child's daily exercise requirements.
