<span style="font-family:'arial' ,'helvetica' ,sans-serif; font-size:13pt">The overarching goal of these guidelines is to provide population-based recommendations on the amount of physical activity (frequency, intensity and duration) that will offer significant
health benefits and mitigate health risks. Additionally, for the first time, these guidelines provide recommendations on sedentary behaviour and health outcomes. These guidelines have been developed for children and adolescents, adults, older adults and sub-populations
such as pregnant and postpartum women and those living with chronic conditions or disability. These guidelines will replace the recommendations on physical activity for health released in 2010 with the most recent advances in the evidence base for these behaviours
and associated health consequences.</span></p>
