Lakeshore Advance
One of the greatest things to do
when the weather gets warmer is to
participate in outdoor activities and
sports. It is also part of a healthy
ifestyle, but not enough Canadian
dldren are being active. According
Orb
to a study by the Canadian Fitness
and Lifestyle Research Institute,
children in Canada do not get
enough physical activity on a daily
basis.
Active play is critical for the
healthy development of children,
especially because it helps build
social skills, imaginations, and self-
esteem. Research shows that life-
style patterns set before the age of
five predict health outcomes in later
childhood and through adulthood.
During National Summer Safety
Week the Canada Safety Council
encourages you to get outside with
your children and participate in
sports and activities as a family.
Staying active on a regular basis is
the key to a healthy lifestyle.
According to the 2010 Active
healthy Kids Canada Report Card,
only 12 per cent of Canadian chil-
dren and youth are meeting the
guidelines set forth by Canada's
Physical Activity Guidelines of at
least 60 minutes of physical activity
per day. The inactivity crisis is par-
ticularly serious for girls. Only five
per cent of adolescent girls are
meeting the guidelines. 1 lowever,
20 per cent of boys aged five to 10
and 15 per cent of boys aged 11 to
14 meet the guidelines.
These new Canadian Physical
Activity Guidelines, released by the
Canadian Society for Exercise Phys-
iology (CSEP), state that children
(5-11 years) and youth (12-17 years)
require at least 60 minutes of mod-
erate- to vigorous -intensity activity
per day, while adults (18-64 years)
and older adults (65+) must get at
least 150 minutes of moderate- to
vigorous -intensity physical activity
per week. Although, Canadians
should try to exceed the minimum
activity levels recommended. The
greater the variety, intensity, and
duration of physical activity, the
greater the health benefits.
Children and youth should
