Participants developed the skills and confidence needed to lead weekly sports and activity sessions. This saw participants take charge of activity sessions for their friends, their peers and staff in order to get everyone more active.<\/p><p>The sports day involved a range of games between teams of people training by the PPALs. The leaders were presented with their Certificates of Completion by the Minister for Health Promotion, Catherine Byrne, TD and Ireland Rugby fullback Rob Kearney.<\/p><p>PPALs is based on Age &amp; Opportunity\u2019s Go for Life model and is a joint project between Trinity College Dublin\u2019s Centre for Ageing and Intellectual Disability (TCAID), Age &amp; Opportunity and the University of Barcelona. Funded by the European Union\u2019s EIT-Health programme, the project co-designed easy read training material with people with intellectual disabilities to ensure that training sessions and materials used were accessible, effective and useful, while still keeping the fun and spirit of the Go for Life model.\u00a0<\/p><p>Speaking at the Games, the Minister for Health Promotion, Catherine Byrne, said:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p>I\u2019m delighted to celebrate the achievements of this fantastic group of our older citizens in completing the P-PALS programme and participating in the P-PALS games today. Under Healthy Ireland, we want to encourage and support everyone to be more active, particularly older people with intellectual disabilities, whose enthusiasm and energy here today is a lesson to us all.<\/p><p>Being physically inactive is one of the leading risk factors for health and under the National Physical Activity Plan we want to make exercise a normal part of everyday life, and give people of all ages more opportunities to be active in their communities.<\/p><p>Partnerships like this one between Trinity and Age &amp; Opportunity are very important in reaching out to groups we might not otherwise get to connect with and support. Everyone deserves the chance to be active and improve their health and wellbeing, and today\u2019s event is a testament to this\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module box -->\n        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_0f70ec9 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_4c7f155 first\">\n                    <!-- module gallery -->\n<div  class=\"module gallery module-gallery tb_c3f25b6 layout-grid  \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    <div class=\"module-gallery-grid\" style=\"--gald:2;--galt:2;--galm:2\">\n            <dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n            <dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\n            <a data-title=\"\" title=\"\n\t\t\t\tOlder people with intellectual disabilities get active at the PPALs Games in Trinity College Dublin\n\u00a0\nOver fifty older people with intellectual disabilities take part in a leisure games tournament which celebrates empowering people to be leaders and get active.\n\u00a0\nOlder people with intellectual disabilities met today in Trinity College Dublin to celebrate the culmination of a year-long physical activity leadership project, PPALs.\n\u00a0\nThe PPALs project is about empowering people with intellectual disabilities to make their communities healthier by becoming Physical Activity Leaders.
