THE CRISIS YOUTH ARE FACING

Throughout the pandemic, the levels of physical activity for children and youth have dropped severely. Youth across Toronto’s Neighbourhood Improvement Areas who were already facing systemic barriers, have seen these factors amplified by COVID-19.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

The World Health Organization recommends “150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week.

THE DECLINE IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN SEVERE

“Only 4.8% of children (ages 5-11) and 0.8% of youth (ages 12-17) were meeting 24-hour movement behaviour guidelines during COVID-19 restrictions, compared to the 15% prior to the pandemic.” - ParticipACTION
