Source 1: 
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines physical activity as all movement including during leisure time, for transport to get to and from places, or as part of a person’s work or school. Both moderate-intensity and vigorous physical activity improve health. Children and adolescents aged 5-17 years should do at least an average of 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity, mostly aerobic, physical activity every day.

Source 2:
Compared with our parents or grandparents, we spend increasing amounts of time in environments that not only limit physical activity but require lengthy sitting – at work, at home, and in our cars and communities. Work sites, schools, homes, and public spaces have been (and continue to be) re-engineered in ways that minimize human movement and muscular activity. These changes have a dual effect on human behaviour: people move less and sit more. From an evolutionary perspective, humans were designed to move – to move and engage in all manner of manual labour throughout the day. This was essential to our survival as a species. The recent shift from a physically demanding life to one with few physical challenges has been sudden, occurring during a tiny fraction of human existence.
