The National Physical Activity Plan states that all children should achieve at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) daily to meet the National Physical Activity Guidelines. The gender distribution shown indicates a clear dichotomy between the share of male and female students meeting the National Physical Activity Guidelines with 23 percent of male primary school children meeting the guidelines, compared to only 13 percent of female primary school children. This distribution is also evident with the post-primary school respondents with 3 percent of male students meeting the guidelines, compared to only 13 percent of female students.
