What counts as active time?
Count time spent moving, rather than the full scheduled length of a class, practice, or game when some of it involved instruction, breaks, or waiting. Light/easy movement is still shown, but it does not count toward the school-age moderate-to-vigorous result.
Guidance by age
For ages 3–5, CDC guidance is to be physically active throughout the day. This calculator therefore reports logged active time without inventing a numeric daily target, countdown, or pass/fail result. For ages 6–17, CDC recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity daily, with vigorous aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and bone-strengthening activity on at least three days each week.
The three weekly activity types
Vigorous aerobic activity makes the heart beat much faster and only counts here when an aerobic activity is marked Vigorous. Muscle-strengthening movement works muscles more than usual. Bone-strengthening movement places force on bones, often through running or jumping. Muscle and bone totals are calculated independently.
Talk with a health professional or qualified instructor when adapting activity for a disability, health condition, pain, or injury.
