CSEP Physical Activity Training for Health
The Third Edition of the manual, to be released in September 2021, has been updated to reflect the latest research in exercise science including the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines, the Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy, and expanded sections on sedentary behaviour and sleep.
Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines
Canada’s first ever 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults offer clear direction on what a healthy 24 hours looks like for Canadian adults aged 18-64 years and 65 years or older.
These guidelines are unique because they don’t just focus on a single movement behaviour, but instead look at how all these integrate together. This is the first time there are recommendations on various types of physical activity woven together with guidance on sedentary and sleep behaviours for these age groups.
