2. MEASURING DAILY ACTIVITY

Daily Activity

According to ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), children and youth should do one hour or more

of physical activity daily. Activity should be mostly aerobic, moderate to vigorous, physical activity but

should also include muscle-strenghtening and bone-strengthening activities.

The health benefits of an active lifestyle are, for instance, better cardiovascular condition and blood

pressure control, and improved glucose tolerance and bone health. Increased physical activity also helps

control weight and promote psychological well-being. Studies show that more active children report higher

levels of self-esteem, happiness, and life satisfaction and lower levels of anxiety, depression, stress, and

peer victimization.

Some authorities recommend that sedentary activities, for instance, television watching, surfing the

internet, playing video games, should be limited to two hours per day.

Sleep is important to children’s health, development and well-being. Children aged 5-11 need 10-11

hours of sleep and children and adolescents aged 12 or over need 8-9.5 hours. Poor or inadequate sleep

can lead to mood swings, behavioral problems such as hyperactivity, and cognitive problems that impact

on children’s ability to learn in school.

Measuring Daily Activity with Polar Active

Polar Active measures your daily activity automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You only need to

wear the activity monitor on your wrist and go. When worn at night time, the activity monitor measures

also your sleeping time.

Activity Zones and Activity Bar

There are five different activity zones in the Polar Active: vigorous+, vigorous, moderate, easy, and very

easy. The activity bar displays achieved time in the moderate to vigorous+ zones. This helps you to

easily check when the daily activity target is fulfilled.

Activity in the other activity zones is visible in the activity diary. Sleeping time can be seen only in the

polargofit.com web service.

In the chart below you can see the recommendations and benefits of being active in different zones:
