Title:
Be active - be healthy.
Northern Ireland physical activity strategy 1996-2002. |
Published:
HPA, March, 1996, on behalf of the Northern
Ireland Physical Activity Strategy Group (NIPAIG). |
Description:
The overall aim
of this strategy is to increase levels of health related physical
activity particularly among those who exercise least. The need
to develop such a strategy, which would focus on the sedentary
population, was highlighted by the Northern Ireland health
and activity survey published in 1994. This survey revealed
that over one quarter (29%) of the adult population would have
difficulty in climbing stairs without some assistance or would
only be capable of doing so unaided at a very slow pace. Be
active - be healthy provides a framework for action to increase
physical activity levels among the whole of the Northern Ireland
population. |
