Aviva Health Learn More

The Schools’ Fitness Challenge 2015 aims to build on last year’s programme, inviting secondary schools throughout the country, to join us in highlighting the importance of fitness to our future health and to make increasing physical activity a national priority. Our goal is that young people will adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle, which will positively benefit their long term health. The challenge will be overseen and assessed by exercise physiologist Dr. Sarah Kelly and by the Schools’ Fitness Challenge creator and sports scientist Professor Niall Moyna from the Centre for Preventive Medicine, DCU.

Ensuring the Schools’ Fitness Challenge is a positive experience for schools, teachers and students is very important to us. Fitness for enjoyment is central to the initiative. We want to help improve fitness levels and increase awareness about the importance of being fit in Ireland. The goal of Aviva Health’s Schools’ Fitness Challenge is to reward schools for taking part and not to highlight or embarrass schools, teachers or pupils. We will contact the winning schools directly before announcing the winning schools
