The Australian Bureau of Statistics released data on the physical activity and sleep habits of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples measured with wrist‑worn accelerometers. In 2023, adults averaged nearly two hours of moderate activity such as brisk walking and three minutes of vigorous activity like running, with 9 % achieving three or more hours of moderate activity per day. They also took about 8,400 steps daily and slept just under seven and a half hours. Children averaged almost an hour of moderate activity and nine minutes of vigorous activity, walked roughly 10,800 steps, and slept nearly eight and a half hours. The data come from around 800 volunteers wearing devices for up to seven days. More details are available on the ABS website.
