NEBB-Update: Updating and Further Developing the National Recommendations for Physical Activity and Physical Activity Promotion https://t.co/8oDUodJqeU
The JPAH Special Edition aims to address our most pressing global health challenges. This commentary prompts discussion around different views on the relationship between #physicalactivity & #climatechange & how future research could be guided accordingly https://t.co/O3jhTZ6h1H
We spent three amazing days at the @hepaeurope conference! Thanks to all colleagues for the intensive knowledge exchange and interesting discussions and to the organizers for the nice atmosphere!
See you all at #heppa2025
We are glad to have contributed to Sven Schneider's book on #climatechange as a health risk. It features 45 chapters from leading German experts. Our chapter discusses the negative impact of #sports on the #climate and how transforming the sport sector can reduce this impact.
We are delighted to announce that the Co-Director of our Collaborating Centre, Karim Abu-Omar, has been invited to join the Journal of Physical Activity and Health as a Senior Assistant Editor
Join us in welcoming Dr. Karim Abu-Omar as a JPAH Senior Associate Editor. His research at @UniFAU focuses on health promotion among vulnerable groups, reducing health inequalities, and physical activity and #PlanetaryHealth.
WHO latest report shows 1/3 adults (1.8 billion) do not meet recommended levels of physical activity - this increases risk of NCDs.
Wake up call for more action & investment in PA.
