The UK Chief Medical Officers’ (CMOs) Physical Activity Guidelines have been updated and released this week (07/09/19).

The guidance explains the amount of activity and type of activity people should aim for to improve (or maintain) their health. They have created six helpful ‘at-a-glance’ infographics for the following groups (click on each to view):

  1. Early Years (birth to 5 years)
  2. Children and Young People (5 to 18 years)  
  3. Adults and Older Adults  
  4. Disabled Adults  
  5. Pregnant Women  
  6. Women after Childbirth (birth to 12 months)
