The National Physical Activity Guidelines recommend at least 30 minutes of moderately intense activity on 5 or more days a week for adults. The 30 minutes can be accumulated in bouts of 10 minutes or more over the course of a day. Being active confers significant health and related benefits and participation in sport and active leisure plays an increasingly important role in adult physical activity levels worldwide . The benefits from activity can be gained at any age. The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing tracked participants whose average age was over 65 for 8 years.

Physical Activity Leaders (PAL)
Since its introduction the ISM has provided valuable insights on all aspects of ports participation at national and local level. As such it has become an important resource in the planning infrastructure throughout sport – from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, through the Council to the National Governing Bodies and Local Sports Partnerships. The ISM also allows the Council to monitor progress against its long term strategy to increase participation in sport.
