Australia has ranked 97 in the world when it comes to the number of people getting enough physical activity, according to new research by the World Health Organisation.

 

The study tracking self-reported activity levels found 30.4 per cent of Australian adults do not reach the recommended level of physical activity for staying healthy in 2016.

 

The World Health Organisation recommends each adult do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, such as brisk walking, swimming or gentle cycling, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, such as running or team sports.
