0 Comments

 
The National Guidelines on Physical Activity for Ireland have been produced, as one of the recommendations from the National Task Force on Obesity, to increase physical activity and reduce the levels of overweight and obesity among Irish people. These guidelines highlight the recommendations for physical activity for children, young people, adults, older people and people with disabilities, for example:
  • Adults (18-64yrs) need at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity on 5 days a week or 150 minutes a week.
  • Older people need at least 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity activity on five days a week, or 150 minutes a week.
  • Adults with disabilities should be as active as their ability allows. They should aim to meet the adult guidelines of at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity on 5 days a week.
  • Children and young people (2-18 yrs) should be active at a moderate to vigorous level for at least 60 minutes everyday.
