Description topics
- Physical activity, 4 years or older
- The questions on physical activities were asked to every person aged 4 years or older, and are based upon the so-called ‘Short Questionnaire to Assess Health Enhancing Physical Activity’ (SQUASH). This questionnaire aims to provide a complete view of a person’s physical activity. Frequencies and durations of the following physical activities were asked for:
1. Commuting to work or school by cycle or on foot,
2. Activities at work or in school,
3. Housekeeping activities ,
4. Walking, cycling, gardening and doing odd jobs in spare time,
5. Practicing sports.
From 2017 onwards, Statistics Netherlands publishes the new physical activity guidelines (drawn up by the Dutch Health Council) for people aged 4 years or older.
In order to get a better understanding of the physical activity of young people of 12 years and older, questions relating to physical education were added to the questionnaire starting in 2019. This means that for all children, aged 12 or older attending secondary school, questions about sport and physical education and sport activities organized by school were added. For children from 4 till 12 years, these questions about physical education were already included in the questionnaire.
Because of this, data from 2019 onwards about complying physical activity guidelines are not comparable with data of 2016-2018, especially for young people from 12 years or older.- Physical activity guidelines
- The physical activity guidelines were drawn up by the Dutch Health Council at the end of 2017. This new guideline replaces the Dutch Norm of Healthy Exercise, the norm for fitness and the combination norm. Adults should be physically active at moderate intensity for at least two and a half hours every week, spread over several days, such as walking and cycling. In addition, they should perform muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least twice a week. Young people from 4 to 17 years old should be physically active at moderate intensity for at least one hour every day, and they should perform muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least three times a week.
An explanatory note has been published about the 2020 figures on this subject, see table explanation.- Comply with physical activity guidelines
- Percentage of people of 4 years or older who comply with the physical activity guidelines. Adults should be physically active at moderate intensity for at least two and a half hours every week, spread over several days, such as walking and cycling. In addition, they should perform muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least twice a week. Young people from 4 to 17 years old should be physically active at moderate intensity for at least one hour every day, and they should perform muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least three times a week.

- Sufficiently active moderate intensity
- Percentage of people of 4 years or older who are sufficiently active at moderate intensity, such as walking and cycling. Persons aged 18 and over should be physically active at moderate intensity for at least two and a half hours every week, spread over several days. Young people between the ages of 4 and 17 should be physically active at moderate intensity for at least one hour every day.
- Sufficient muscle-/bone-strength. activ.
- Percentage of people aged 4 years or older who perform sufficient muscle- and bone-strengthening activities. Persons aged 18 and over should perform muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least twice a week. Young people aged 4 to 17 should perform muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least three times a week.
- Weekly sporter
- Percentage of people of 4 years or older who practise sport at least once a week. From 2016 onwards, the percentage of weekly sporters aged 4 years or older is published.
An explanatory note has been published about the 2020 figures on this subject, see table explanation.
- Subscription sports provider
- The percentage of persons of 4 years or older that has a subscription to a fitness centre, swimming pool or another provider of sport.
- Member sports club
- The percentage of persons of 4 years or older that is member of a sports club.
- Physical activity, 12 years or older
- The questions on physical activities were asked to every person aged 12 years or older, and are based upon the so-called Short Questionnaire to Assess Health Enhancing Physical Activity (SQUASH). This questionnaire aims to provide a complete view of a person-s physical activity. Frequencies and durations of the following physical activities were asked for:
1.Commuting to work or school by cycle or on foot,
2.Activities at work or in school,
3.Housekeeping activities ,
4.Walking, cycling, gardening and doing odd jobs in spare time,
5.Practising sports.
From 2017 onwards, Statistics Netherlands will publish the new physical activity guidelines (drawn up by the Dutch Health Council) for people aged 4 years or older. The figures on physical activity of people aged 12 or older are published for the last time in 2017.- Meeting the Dutch Norm Healthy Exercise
- The percentage of persons of 12 years or older who comply with the Dutch Norm of Healthy Exercise. This Dutch standard specifies the minimal amount of physical exercise that is required to maintain and improve health. It is based on MET values (metabolic equivalents): 1 MET corresponds to the energy expenditure of sitting, resting, and 5 MET corresponds to 5 times the energy expenditure of this resting metabolic rate. For all activities that are enquired in the SQUASH questionnaire, the MET value has been established.
According to the standard, adolescents aged 12 to 17 years need to perform moderately intensive physical activities (MET value minimally 5) at least one hour daily, such as bicycling. Persons of 18 years or older should perform moderately intensive physical activities at least for half an hour, at least five days a week. For persons aged 18 to 54 years, the MET value should at least by 4, e.g. walking (5 km / h). For persons of 55 years or older, it will do to perform in accordance with a MET value of 3, e.g. quietly walking (4 km / h).
At the end of 2017, the Dutch Health Council published new physical activity guidelines. The figures on the Dutch Norm of Healthy Exercise are published for the last time in 2017.- Inactive
- The percentage of persons of 12 years or older who are inactive. A person is considered to be inactive if there is not a single day in which there is compliance with the Dutch Norm of Healthy Exercise.
- Semi-active
- The percentage of persons of 12 years or older who are semi-active. A person is considered to be semi-active if the Dutch Norm of Healthy Exercise is not met, but if he or she still is normally active at least 1 and at the most 6 days (youngsters from 12 up to and including 17 years of age) or at most 4 days (adults).
- Norm-active
- The percentage of persons of 12 years or older who are norm-active. A person is considered to be norm-active if he or she complies with the Dutch Norm of Healthy Exercise.
- Meeting the norm for fitness
- The percentage of persons of 12 years or older who comply with the fitness standard. The fitness standard is based upon the minimal amount of physical activity that is needed to obtain an optimal endurance. A person complies with the fitness standard if he or she exercises with heavy intensity at least three times a week during at least 20 minutes. Intensity of physical activity is defined by means of the MET values (metabolic equivalent): 1 MET corresponds to the energy expenditure of sitting resting, and 5 MET corresponds to 5 times the energy expenditure of this resting metabolic rate. For all activities that are enquired in the SQUASH questionnaire, the MET value has been established.
For adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, activities with a MET value of at least 8 are regarded as heavily intensive (MET value minimally 8). For adults aged 18 to 54 years, a MET-value of at least 6.5 is considered as heavily intensive. For adults aged 55 years or older, this is at least 5.
At the end of 2017, the Dutch Health Council published new physical activity guidelines. The figures on the norm for fitness are published for the last time in 2017.- Inactive
- The percentage of persons of 12 years or older who are inactive. A person is considered to be inactive if he or she does not meet the fitness standard on any day of the week.
- Semi-active

At the end of 2017, the Dutch Health Council published new physical activity guidelines. The figures on the combination norm are published for the last time in 2017.
- Weekly sporter
- The percentage of persons of 12 years or older who practise sport at least once a week. From 2016 onwards, the percentage of weekly sporters aged 4 years or older is published. The percentage of weekly sporters aged 12 or older is published for the last time in 2017.
