Creating an Active Wales

Regular physical activity has many benefits to health, including mental health and well-being. People who are active have up to a 50% reduced risk of developing the major chronic diseases and a 20-30% reduced risk of premature death.

The action plan focuses on four strategic aims.

• To develop a physical environment that makes it easier for people to choose to be more physically active.
• To support children and young people to live active lives, and become active adults.
• To encourage more adults to be more active, more often, throughout life.
• To increase participation in sport, by all sectors of the population.
