Moving in Huddersfield.

Huddersfield · Kirklees local authority · 2 cards

Huddersfield is a town, not a statistical area: these figures are for Kirklees local authority as a whole (which includes Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley and surrounding towns). Treat them as the wider-area picture, not street-level results.

How much Kirklees moves — adults hitting 150 minutes a week, and children averaging an hour a day.

Plain-English context

Moving more lowers the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers and depression. The adult survey counts activity in 10-minute bouts — everyday walking counts, not just sport. About 62.4% of adults and 46.9% of children in Kirklees hit their targets, but survey samples are small so treat small yearly moves cautiously.
