🚨Does your role impact physical activity? Perhaps in government, not-for-profits, NGOs or academia?

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

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.

The concept of physical literacy (PL) has strongly influenced #physicalactivity research & policy, but has yet to include a planetary health focus. This commentary calls for the elaboration of an "ecological domain" of PL for physically active lifestyles 🔗https://t.co/YphE4aOZKw

Check our new publication where we mapped existing approaches of #physicalactivity #policy monitoring and analysed methodological aspects, especially with regards to the roles of governments and researchers
