| NICE – Increasing physical activity How1 #370041
| - Encourage children and young people to increase their level of physical activity, even if they do not lose weight as a result, because of the other health benefits exercise can bring (for example, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease).
- Encourage children to do at least 60 minutes of moderate or greater intensity physical activity each day. The activity can be in 1 session or several sessions lasting 10 minutes or more.
- Be aware that children who are already overweight may need to do more than 60 minutes' activity.
- Encourage children to reduce inactive behaviours, such as sitting and watching television, using a computer or playing video games.
- Give children the opportunity and support to do more exercise in their daily lives (for example, walking, cycling, using the stairs and active play; for more information see the NICE pathway on walking and cycling). Make the choice of activity with the child, and ensure it is appropriate to the child's ability and confidence.
- Give children the opportunity and support to do more regular, structured physical activity, (for example football, swimming or dancing). Make the choice of activity with the child, and ensure it is appropriate to the child's ability and confidence.
