RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF EXERCISE
Various groups provide different guidelines on the amount of exercise a child needs. Although there are differences,
they all agree that exercise, and plenty of it, is critically important for all aspects of health, longevity, and development for children
The National Association for Sport & Physical Education (NASPE) Guidelines (abbreviated):
For preschoolers, age 3-5:
- Should participate in a least 60 minutes of structured physical activity daily
- Should engage in at least 60 minutes and up to several hours of unstructured physical activity
- Should not be sedentary for more than 60 minutes at a time, except when sleeping
- Should develop competence in movement skills that are building blocks for more complex movements tasks
Today's kids spend less and less time exercising and more time watching TV or playing computer games.
It's essential that we get them involved in exercise programs that are fun!
