20 The questions on child physical activity included in SHeS since 1998 are based on the 1997 Health Survey for England (HSE) children’s physical activity module.

21 Up to and including 2016, children were asked to provide information on the average duration of sports and exercise activities for a typical day, and were not asked to differentiate between different weekday or weekend days or to provide a specific duration for each separate day. In this report adherence to the physical activity guidelines is calculated using an average of at least 60 minutes per day. From the start of 2017, the amount of activity the child undertook on each day of the week has been collected. The report of the 2017 data, (to be published next year) will present children’s adherence to the physical activity guidelines on two bases: a) an average of at least 60 minutes per day (as in this report) and b) at least 60 minutes on every day.
