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.

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. They present a unique opportunity to create a shared vision and framework to support everyone to be as active as they can and enjoy the innumerable benefits.
