ex-HER-cise @ DkIT

We know from the Adolescent Girls Get Active Research Report 2021, that by the time girls reach the ages of 14-15 years, only 7% are meeting the national physical activity guidelines of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day.  This has serious implications for both our mental and physical health.

This initiative, which coincides with Sport Ireland’s Women in Sport week, aims to promote and celebrate the involvement of girls in sport and exercise, not only through active participation but through careers in coaching, leadership, officiating and governance.

This will be an interactive, action-packed and fun-filled day where, in the morning, girls will get to discuss some of the challenges facing females in sport with a high-profile panel of sports people, followed by an afternoon of fun practical sessions showcasing the world of exercise science at DkIT.
