After School - Time to get Active

The 2011 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card highlights the critical after-school period from 3:00 to 6:00pm, and how much physical activity our children are getting after school and before dinner.

Surprisingly, Canadian children are sedentary 59% of the time between 3:00pm and 6 pm ... getting only 14 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity in this 3-hour period!

Canada's New Sedentary Guidelines

To complement Canada's new physical activity guidelines released in January 2011, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) has just released Canada's Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines for Children and Youth - the first of their kind in the world.

The new Sedentary Behaviour guidelines provide recommendations to Canadian children and youth on limiting sedentary behaviour during discretionary or "free" time in order to reduce health risks.

The two guidelines together can be thought of as a recipe for families to give children the best possible chance to gain health and social benefits. Check out the new Sedentary Behaviour Guideline information sheets for children and youth.

Children Age 5-11	Youth Age 12-17

Canada's New Physical Activity Guidelines

To help Canadians move toward healthier lifestyles, the Public Health Agency of Canada supported the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) in reviewing the latest science on physical activity and in developing new physical activity guidelines. The new guidelines were released on January 24, 2011.

Check out the new Physical Activity Guideline information sheets and statements below. For more information or tips to get moving, please visit CSEP or ParticipACTION.
