According to NHS guidelines, children between the ages of five and 18 years are recommended to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. This indicator uses data from children in Years 6, 8 and 10 who took part in the Jersey School Survey. They were asked if they had done at least one hour of physical activity (which can be accumulated in different activities through the day) on each of the seven days preceding the survey.

The 2021 results showed that, overall, less than one in five children met the recommended levels. Although this represents a significant improvement compared to 2010, this figure has shown little change in recent years.
