A leading charity is expanding its health programme in schools after research showed that NI children were among the least active in the UK.
The University College London study found that only 43% of seven-year-olds had the recommended one hour of exercise each day.
The research showed that girls fared worse than boys.
The charity, Chest Heart and Stroke, (NICHS) said something must be done to halt the increase in childhood obesity.
