Drop-off in teenage girls participating in sport remains a 'significant concern' 

The report suggests 96% of primary school children are participating in some form of sport at least once a week, while 84% of secondary school children do some form of sport.

More children are meeting the daily recommended exercise guidelines, but the drop-off in teenage girls participating in sport remains a “significant concern”.

Sport Ireland’s latest study on children’s participation in sport and physical activity suggests just 15% of children are meeting the recommended physical activity guidelines of one hour of moderate-to-vigorous activity per day.
