Question

Healthy Fitness Doctors recommend that children and young people get one hour of physical activity a day. This activity can be not very intensive, but it should be regular. At least twice a week you should include activities to improve bone health, muscle strength and flexibility. Activities that are «weight-bearing» (in other words, when you are on your feet, rather than in the water or on a bike) help build strong bones. The experts say that young people aged five to sixteen should spend at least two hours a week doing physical exercises and school sport, both during a school day and after school. But many doctors believe that even an hour's activity a day isn't enough. If you want to be fit and healthy, you need to do 90 minutes exercise a day. 1) From the text we know how much time of physical activity a day doctors recommend for children.- 2) Everyday physical activity should not be very intensive.- 3) A «weight-bearing» activity means an activity where you are on your feet, and not in the water or on a bike.- 4) Experts say that children should spend actively not less than two hours a day.- 5) Doctors don't agree with experts.- 6) An hour's activity a day isn't enough to be fit and healthy.-​
