Physical Activity Is an Opportunity for the Health of Nations: What Should We Do Next?
11 Health and Performance Medical Director, Swiss Olympic Medical Center, Hôpital de La Tour, Meyrin, Genève.
Abstract:
Physical activity provides huge opportunities for the health of nations. Understanding this, the World Health Organization has published a Global Action Plan which aims to provide member states with a framework for action, namely to create active societies, people, environments and systems. The target is set at a 15 % reduction in physical inactivity levels by 2030. We explore in this paper some of the challenges and opportunities that come with it, and give the practitioner some real-world opportunities for relevant action at the local level, as well as for their patients, staying true to the Physician's Pledge (Declaration of Geneva): "I will attend to my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard."
