The United Nations released its first-ever recommendations on physical activity for children under five.

File: WHO said the guidelines"fill a gap" in the global effort to promote healthy living. ​​​​​​​

But several experts noted that WHO's broad recommendations were based on thin evidence and chastised the agency for adopting overly simplistic definitions of key terms, notably"sedentary screen time."With obesity posing a rising public health threat and 80 percent of adolescents"not sufficiently physically active," WHO said it was necessary to outline best practices for children under five -- a crucial period for lifestyle development.

For infants between one and two years old, WHO recommends two hours of physical activity per day, with no more than an hour of"sedentary screen time" and at least 11 hours of sleep.
