National PA Guidelines
Physical Activity Recommendations for 5-12 year olds
 A combination of moderate and vigorous activities for at
least 60 minutes a day is recommended.
 Examples of moderate activities are a brisk walk, a bike ride
or any sort of active play.
 More vigorous activities will make kids “huff and puff” and
include organized sports such as football and netball, as well
as activities such as ballet, running and swimming laps.
 Most importantly, kids need the opportunity to participate
in a variety of activities that are fun and suit their interests,
skills and abilities.Variety will also offer a range of health
benefits, experiences and challenges.
 Children shouldn't spend more than two hours a day using
electronic media for entertainment (eg computer games, TV,
internet), particularly during daylight hours.
Training Principles

Specificity
Training needs to be relevant to the
sport we are training for eg. Long
distance running for a marathon
event.
Overload
Increasing our training load eg.
Distance, time, repetitions or
weight.
Recovery
Muscles and energy stores need
time to recover and replenish
following exercise eg. 1 rest day
each week
