Three percent of children hit daily activity target [sciencedaily.com]

Only one in 30 children does the recommended amount of daily physical activity, new research suggests.

Guidelines from the Chief Medical Officer say people aged five to 18 should do at least 60 minutes of "moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity," every day.

Previous research has often used less than seven days of data on children's activity and created an average based on that.
