Regular physical activity is one of the most important things we can do for our health. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), regular physical activity has been shown to help prevent and manage non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers.

Engaging in physical activity activities such as walking, cycling, active recreation and playing games improves brain function, mental health, quality of life and well-being, maintains healthy body weight and strengthens bones and muscles.
