The National Physical Activity Guidelines

Being physically active is one of the most important steps people of all ages can take to improve their health. Despite the overwhelming evidence, much of the Irish population is not sufficiently active to reap the health gain of physical activity. While increased physical activity levels benefit all, there is strong evidence that the greatest health benefits occur when the least active in the population become moderately active.

The National Physical Activity Guidelines for Ireland provide clear, concise and user friendly guidance to support the public, professionals and policy makers to Get Ireland Active. Putting these guidelines into practice presents a unique opportunity to create a shared vision and framework to support everyone - children, young people, adults, older people and people with disabilities - to be as active as they can and enjoy the innumerable benefits.
