Amount of activity according to the World Health Organization: The most benefit from physical activity is achieved with at least 2.5 hours of aerobic exercise of moderate intensity per week, which can be accumulated in 10-minute periods. At least 2 days/week vigorous intensity aerobic exercise and resistance exercises for muscle strengthening are recommended. Increased intensity, frequency and duration of exercise is associated with increased added health benefits. (92)

Warm-up before the session and cool down after the session of exercise consists of 5-15 minutes of activity at 50% training intensity of the conditioning stimulus.
