The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare had started the “National Health Promotion Movement in the 21st Century 2nd edition” from April, 2013. In the “Physical activity and exercise” section in the Health Japan 21 (2nd edition), there are 3 targets such as increase daily steps, increase the number of people who have an exercise habit, and increase municipalities which engage in community development and environmental improvement to make it easy to do physical activity. Moreover, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare had presented the “Physical Activity Reference 2013 for health promotion” and the “Physical Activity Guideline (Active Guide) ” in order to assist Health 21 (2nd edition) in March, 2013. The Active Guide based on “physical activity reference 2013” introduced “Plus Ten” as a tagline for encouraging daily physical activity. Plus Ten involves 10 minutes of increasing daily physical activity, especially walking. Moreover, the Active Guide recommended over 60 minutes of moderate physical activity, such as walking every day and vigorous exercise 60 minutes per week for people aged 18 to 64. Furthermore, it recommended 40 minutes of light physical activity, such as standing, walking, or housework every day for people over 65 years of age. We hope these guidelines will contribute to increasing healthy life expectancy.
