Professor Roger O’Sullivan, IPH Director of Ageing Research and Development on the line to speak about a report which found that despite a high level of awareness about the benefits of physical activity and recommended guidelines, women were less active than men and highlights the need to understand and address barriers to physical activity for other groups. Almost half of respondents in Ireland (46%) and a third in Northern Ireland (33%) knew the weekly recommendations to do at least 150 minutes of physical activity, although only around three in 10 across both jurisdictions were physically active five days a week or more. It found that women were less likely to be active and more likely to be inactive than men in both jurisdictions – this was despite high awareness of the benefits of physical activity amongst women.
