Physical activity reduces the risk of death or ill health from many non-communicable
diseases and conditions, especially:

• cardiovascular diseases
• some cancers
• diabetes
• osteoarthritis and osteoporosis
• falls in older people
• obesity
• mental health (depression and anxiety).

30 minutes is all it takes
There is good evidence that undertaking at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical
activity on most, if not all, days of the week benefits health. To achieve health benefits,
physical activity does not have to be undertaken at a single session. It is possible to
accumulate smaller ‘doses’ of physical activity throughout the day (eg, 10 minutes at a time)
to improve health.
