How active should my children be?

Evidence suggests that people are getting less active and spend more time being sedentary whilst watching TV, playing computer games or travelling by car. This can have an impact on their long term health and wellbeing.

• Guidelines for early years - children aged under 5
• Guidelines for young people aged 5 to 18
