@ASPActivity @ISPAH @LindseyReece28 Sport and active recreation - not just about competition or elite performance...

Providing ENJOYABLE and FUN opportunities for ALL to participate in SPORT and ACTIVE RECREATION throughout the LIFESPAN is one of the 8 best investments for promoting physical activity!

@BJSM_BMJ @M_Stamatakis @fiona_bull @DrScottLear @ISPAH @WHO @ISBNPA @Ulf_Ekelund @ma_hamer @Bill_Vicenzino @CMAJ And yet we continue to sell it primarily as (physical) medicine. Not what the punters think about nor what will keep them involved.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for anyone to complete a survey that talks about the barriers and challenges that exist in the current play, active recreation & sport system, what you want to see for the future system and how we might get there. https://t.co/51uD7Q6Y8R

[Simon Rosenbaum @simon_rosenbaum]

Good to see mental health as an (the first!) option @BJSM_BMJ!

The more we normalise and talk about the idea of "I exercise/ am active to look after my mental health" the better!
