- Abstract
The article outlines global recommendations for physical activity for children below five years of age, identifies gaps in the literature, and suggests recommendations for future research and public health policy in Australia. It notes the inconsistencies in the amount of physical activity regarded as sufficient in the guidelines developed in several countries. A summary table of physical guidelines/recommendations for children, by country/major health organisation is provided.
