First Physical Activity Recommendations for Older Australians
For the first time, the Australian Government has developed physical
activity recommendations specifically for older Australians.
Under the new recommendations, older Australians are urged to accumulate
at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day, as a slight
increase in activity can make a difference to a person's overall health and
wellbeing.
The recommendations are part of the Australian Government's plan to
promote healthy and positive ageing.
The Minister for Ageing, Mrs Justine Elliot, today officially announced
the Physical Activity Recommendations for Older Australians at the 11th
Annual Health Congress in Sydney.
