Women in Northern Ireland are the most physically active in the UK, with just over a third getting the recommended amount of exercise.
With 35% making sure they take 30 minutes of activity daily, the province is ahead of the rest, according to a study by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).
Kate Medoza, head of education at the WCRF, said: "Women in Northern Ireland are leading the rest of the UK when it comes to getting the required level of physical activity, but nationwide activity levels are worryingly low. Women need to be more physically active and hopefully the Olympics will provide a boost."
She called for changes to food labelling to make healthy eating choices easier, and said town planners should help ensure activity is safer and more attractive.
