Sport, Recreation and
Physical Activity
It is well established that regular physical activity improves physical
and mental health, boosts brain activity and brings communities
together. Physical activity is defined by the World Health Organization
as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle that requires
energy expenditure.
The benefits of physical activity are far-reaching and extend
beyond health and wellbeing alone. Benefits can include a sense
of purpose and value, a better quality of life, improved sleep
and reduced stress, as well as stronger relationships and social
connectedness. Additionally, promoting active modes of travel
such as walking and cycling are beneficial for the environment
and for health. High participation in physical activity from
childhood creates the foundations for a healthy life.
People who are physically and socially active contribute to a
thriving sport and recreation sector. Networks of sport and
recreation clubs and organisations bring people together and
are a rich source of social capital for our State.
