This booklet from the BHFNC will help anyone working with children and young people to use the Government's physical activity guidelines, for example, teachers, youth workers, GPs and many more. This document will help you to understand what the guidelines are, what types and amounts of physical activity children and young people should do and why this is important. It will help you to shape your programmes and assist in motivating even the least active people to meet the physical activity guidelines. The resource provides practical evidence-based guidance on what you can do to help children and young people meet the physical activity guidelines. It will also signpost you towards further resources which can help you promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour.

This booklet includes sections on:

  • what are the physical activity guidelines?
  • why do we need physical activity guidelines?
  • interpreting the guidelines
  • working towards and achieving the guidelines
  • what activities count towards meeting the guidelines?
  • motivating children and young people
  • promoting physical activity to children and young people and their parents/carers.
