WHO Global Action Plan on Physical Activity
The Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (UK) responded to the Draft WHO Global Action Plan on Physical Activity on the 22 September 2017.
The draft plan is a positive step towards tackling this global and pan-societal issue that will require both top-down and bottom-up changes across the member states. The FSEM (UK) welcomes measures to implement a cultural and educational change (positive attitudes and values to everyone being active) to encourage people to build physical activity into daily life and understand the immediate and long term benefits regular exercise can bring.
