liikunnallisille

Liikunnallisille is a Finnish term used to describe people who engage in physical exercise, sports, or an active lifestyle. In everyday language it can function as a descriptor for a group of people or, in public communications, as the target audience for information and services related to physical activity. The term emphasizes a connection to regular movement rather than to a specific sport.

In use, liikunnallisille often appears in health, education, and marketing contexts. For example, a public health notice might be directed “liikunnallisille” to offer tips for maintaining activity, or a program might be described as available to “liikunnallisille.” The form is the allative/dative plural, marking the recipients or beneficiaries of an action, such as information, support, or programs.

Etymology and form: the base is liikunta, meaning physical exercise. The suffix -llinen creates the adjective liikunnallinen (“athletic, related to physical activity”), and -ille marks the target group or audience in the plural form. The bare plural noun liikunnalliset can refer to physically active people as a group, while liikunnallisille specifies the recipients or intended audience.

Related terms include liikunta (exercise), urheilu (sport), aktiivinen elämäntapa (active lifestyle), and liikunnan pariin (into the realm of physical activity). The concept is used in policy, health promotion, and consumer segmentation to address or tailor content to people who regularly participate in physical activity.
