Island-of-Ireland ‘report card’ reveals inequalities in physical exercise for children with disabilities
Island-of-Ireland ‘report card’ reveals inequalities in exercise levels for children with disabilitiesAcross the island of Ireland, children aged 6-17 are recommended to undertake at least 60 minutes every day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activityChildren and teens are not getting the recommended weekly levels of exercise with a new report card awarding a “C minus” grade for their overall physical activity.
Overall, the “C minus” grade shows that recommended physical activity levels are only being achieved in about half of all children and adolescents, while the “F grade” for those with disabilities shows that physical activities are being met in only very few cases. This was the first time that the study analysed data on physical activity among children and adolescents with disabilities.
In addition to the “F grade” for overall physical activity for this group, a “D grade” was awarded for organised sport, lower than the general population.
