#68 New Physical Activity Guidelines

HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing

The latest HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast talks about the new national physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines.

Professor Elaine Murtagh and Associate Professor Grainne Hayes from the University of Limerick. The episode centres around the newly launched physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines, exploring their significance, updates from previous guidelines, and recommendations for various population subgroups, including those with disabilities.

The conversation highlights the importance of reducing sedentary behaviour, incorporating muscle-strengthening activities, and understanding the intensity of physical activity. Understanding these intensity levels helps individuals gauge their activity and ensure they are meeting the recommended guidelines.
