Chief medical officers’ recommendations also include strength and balance activities three times a week
Disabled children and young people should get 20 minutes of exercise each day and strength and balance activity three times a week in the first ever physical activity guidelines released for them by the four chief medical officers in the UK.
The recommendations, underpinned by research from Durham University, the University of Bristol and Disabilities Rights UK, note that the health and wellbeing benefits include stronger muscles and improved confidence.
