"Results from the 2012 and 2013 Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) indicate that Canadian adults aged 18 to 79 spent on average a total of 4 hours and 11 minutes per day being physically active. Of the time spent being active, the majority was spent in light activity (3 hours and 46 minutes), and the remaining time in moderate-to-vigorous activity (MVPA) (25 minutes) (chart 1). Out of those 25 minutes of MVPA (moderate-to-vigorous activity), 12 minutes were done in periods of at least 10 minutes (data not shown). On average, adults spent 9 hours and 48 minutes of their waking time being sedentary"--Page 3.
