Physical activity levels Physical activity is a major modifiable risk factor for a range of chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, mental health disorders, and some cancers, and insufficient physical activity contributes to the Australian burden of disease. The health benefits of physical activity are determined by the frequency, duration, and intensity of the activity. The updated 2014 Guidelines introduced a range of minutes per week in the duration of moderate/vigorous physical activity and twice weekly muscle strengthening activity. Moderate intensity activities are those that take some effort, but you are still able to talk while doing them. Vigorous intensity activities refer to those activities that require more effort and make you breather harder and faster. Physical Activity Guidelines, 1999 and 2014 Recommendations National Physical Activity Guidelines 1999^ Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines 2014^^ Moderate intensity activity 30min/day (5 days) or 150 min/week 150-300 min/week OR Vigorous intensity activity Not quantified 75-150 min/week OR equivalent combination of both Muscle strengthening activity n/a weekly ^includes everyone from age 18 years ^^ applies to people aged 18-64 years The types of physical activity included in meeting the 2014 guidelines comprise walking (at least 10 minutes at a time), vigorous household chores and vigorous gardening activities, moderate and vigorous physical activity (sport/exercise) and muscle strengthening activities. Physical activity is reported as sufficient or insufficient in meeting the guidelines for moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Insufficient physical activity includes the absence of activity as well as activity levels which fall below the 2014 recommendations. The 1999 guidelines have been applied to the 2016 estimates below for trend analysis. The proportion of Tasmanians with sufficient levels of physical activity has slightly increased 2013, from 63.9 per cent to 66 per cent, but this was not statistically significant.
