Around 39% of UK adults – that’s around 20 million people – are failing to meet Government recommendations for physical activity.

Around 11.8million women across the UK are insufficiently active, compared to around 8.3million men.

Overall women are 36% more likely to be classified physically inactive then men.

The North West has the highest proportion of people who are not meeting the Government’s physical activity recommendations.

Almost half (47%) of the adult population in the North West – that’s 2.7million people – are physically inactive.

The World Health Organization ranks sedentary behaviour among the 10 leading causes of death worldwide.

The UK analysis of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study estimated that physical inactivity contributes to almost one in ten premature deaths from coronary heart disease, and one in six deaths from any cause.
