Key facts

Days per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity

Ds per W of moderate to vigorous physical activity

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) defines physical activity as "anything that gets your body moving." On a scale of 1 to 10, where sitting is a 0 and the highest level of activity is a 10, moderate physical activity is a 5 or 6 and vigorous activity is a 7 or 8. When a child or adolescent does moderate physical activity, their heart will beat faster than normal and they will breathe harder than normal. When they do vigorous activity, their heart will beat much faster than normal and they will breathe much harder than normal.
