Chief Medical Officers Guidelines
Adults (19 – 64 Years)1. Adults should aim to be active daily. Over a
week, activity should add up to 150 minutes (2 ½ hours) of moderate intensity activity in bouts of 10 minutes or more – one way to approach this is to do 30 minutes on at least 5 days a week.
2. Alternatively, comparable benefits can be achieved through 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity spread across the week or combinations of moderate and vigorous activity.
3. Adults should also undertake physical activity to improve muscle strength on at least two days a week.
4. All adults should minimise the amount of time spent being sedentary (sitting) for extended periods.

![Page 10: Physical Activity in the Workplace Bruce Lockie Cornwall Sports Partnership Health & Physical Activity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cff5503460f949d05d5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
NICE Recommendations

![Page 11: Physical Activity in the Workplace Bruce Lockie Cornwall Sports Partnership Health & Physical Activity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cff5503460f949d05d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Policy and Planning
Develop a Physical Activity Plan or Policy that:
• Maximises the opportunity for all employees to participate
• Involves staff in planning and development• Has dedicated resources• Sets organisational goals• Links to relevant national and local policies
![Page 12: Physical Activity in the Workplace Bruce Lockie Cornwall Sports Partnership Health & Physical Activity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cff5503460f949d05d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Physical Activity Programme (1)
The programme could include:
• Flexible working policies• Policies to encourage walking, cycling or the use
of other transport involving physical activity• Dissemination of information, for example, on
local opportunities to be physically active• Ongoing advice and support• Confidential, independent health checks
![Page 13: Physical Activity in the Workplace Bruce Lockie Cornwall Sports Partnership Health & Physical Activity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cff5503460f949d05d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Physical Activity Programme (2)
The programme should:
• Encourage employees to walk, cycling or the use of other transport involving physical activity to travel to and from work
• Help employees to be physically active during their working day
• Encourage employees to set physical activity goals
• Take account of the nature of the work and any health and safety issues

Supporting Employers
Organisations with responsibility for increasing physical activity or for occupational health should provide support to employers who are implementing this guidance. This should ideally be in the workplace and include:
• Advice and information on local resources• Resources, for example, the services of physical
activity experts
If initial demand exceeds resources a targeted approach is suggested
![Page 15: Physical Activity in the Workplace Bruce Lockie Cornwall Sports Partnership Health & Physical Activity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cff5503460f949d05d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Costs and Savings
• People are essential in any business
• Implementing a workplace physical activity scheme will incur some costs
• The benefits are significant and far outweigh any initial costs
![Page 16: Physical Activity in the Workplace Bruce Lockie Cornwall Sports Partnership Health & Physical Activity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cff5503460f949d05d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Discussion
• What physical activity programme do we have?• How is it evaluated?• How are staff involved in it?• If we introduce a physical activity programme,
how will we measure the return on our investment?
