2nd Physical activity almanac
The global observatory for physical activity (GoPA)
Dit rapport bevat van 217 landen informatie over o.a. algemene informatie over het land (inwonertal, levensverwachting) aantal doodsoorzaken gerelateerd aan inactiviteit prevalentie van lichaamsbeweging, inwoners van 18 jaar en ouder…
Legal strategies to improve physical activity in populations
We describe the development and application of a framework that aligns legal strategies with the WHO Global Plan policy objectives. This new framework – the Regulatory Approaches to Movement, Physical…
Towards better evidence-informed global action: lessons learnt from the Lancet series and recent developments in physical activity and public health
In the past few decades, the field of physical activity has grown and evolved in scope, depth, visibility and impact around the world. Global progress has been observed in research…
Getting Australia active III
A systems approach to physical activity for policy makers
This guide, Getting Australia Active III (GAAIII), aims to build greater understanding and capacity among government policy makers to employ a whole-of-systems approach (WSA) to increase physical activity (PA) in…
Implementation and scale-up of physical activity and behavioural nutrition interventions
An evaluation roadmap
Background: Interventions that work must be effectively delivered at scale to achieve population level benefits. Researchers must choose among a vast array of implementation frameworks (> 60) that guide design…
Is running associated with a lower risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality, and is the more the better?
A systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective: To investigate the association of running participation and the dose of running with the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Results: Fourteen studies…
The development of the Comprehensive Analysis of Policy on Physical Activity (CAPPA) framework
Background: Policy analysis is considered essential for achieving successful reforms in health promotion and publich ealth. The only framework for physical activity (PA) policy analysis was developed at a time…
Sitting time, physical activity, and risk of mortality in adults
The purpose of this study was to examine the joint and stratified associations of sitting and MVPA with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and to estimate the theoretical effect…
Does physical activity attenuate, or even eliminate, the detrimental association of sitting time with mortality?
A harmonised meta-analysis of data from more than 1 million men and women
High levels of moderate intensity physical activity (ie, about 60–75 min per day) seem to eliminate the increased risk of death associated with high sitting time. However, this high activity…
Physical activity
More of the same is not enough
We now know that physical inactivity is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, some cancers, poor skeletal health, some aspects of mental health, and overall…
