Figure 2
Percentage of Project BEAT participants (10–12 years) and CHMS participants (6–10 years and 11–14 years) with at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, by days per week and by sex

Figure 2 shows percentage of Project BEAT participants (10–12 years) and CHMS participants (6–10 years and 11–14 years) with at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, by days per week and by sex. Like the CHMS, the difference in the proportion of Project BEAT children who met guidelines on at least 3 days a week compared to at least 6 days a week was much greater for boys than girls (13.3% and 2.1% increase, respectively).
