The transition from secondary education at 16 coincides with the most significant drop out of young people from physical activity and organised sport; it also marks the end of curriculum PE for most. Young people should engage in moderate or vigorous physical activity for an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week.
Support schools, colleges and communities to encourage and facilitate physical activity by increasing opportunities for young people to participate, perform, lead and volunteer in sport.
