Health & Planning
• Adults• Physical Activity• 150 minutes MVPA/week• YR – 53% inactive
• Weight• 50% overweight/obese
4
Health & Planning• Children• Physical Actvity • 60 minutes MVPA/day
• YR - 19% of students grades 7 -12?• Can Health Measures Survey – accelerometry data – 7%
and lower among adolescents

Health & Planning• Effectiveness• Obesity
• High level of AT (> 150 minutes/week)• ↓ risk of hypertension by 24%, DM by 31%
• 150 minutes MVPA• 19% ↓ in mortality – 24% ↓ with 1 hour/day
• Studies in Copenhagen & Shanghai• Regular cyclist commuters ↓mortality rates by 30%

Health & Planning
• Additional health and economic benefits from decreasing injuries, air pollution and GHG emissions
• City of Toronto (2014)• 1300 premature deaths; 3,550 hospitalizations/year• 42% of deaths; 55% hospitalizations traffic related
• ↓ by shift to walking, cycling, public transit
9
