Moving in Wigan.

Wigan local authority · 2 cards

How much Wigan 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 58.7% of adults and 52.6% of children in Wigan hit their targets, but survey samples are small so treat small yearly moves cautiously.
