More Sport for All – Labour Party Policy Review

Share:

The FSEM with the Royal College of Physicians submitted its response to this consultation in September 2014. Our key points and recommendations were:

 

 

  • Other forms of physical activity should be promoted alongside sport
  • Strategies and programmes to promote sport and physical activity must be better coordinated across different government and public bodies
  • The quality of PE in schools must improve and be more inclusive to promote wider physical activity rather than just sport
  • Greater emphasis on fitness indicators such as cardiorespiratory fitness over BMI will better reflect the health of the nation
