working document

This physical activity strategy aims to inspire governments and stakeholders to work towards increasing the level of physical activity among all citizens of the European Region by: 

• promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviours;
• ensuring an enabling environment that supports physical activity through engaging and safe built environments, accessible public spaces and infrastructure;
• providing equal opportunities for physical activity regardless of gender, age,
• income, education, ethnicity or disability; and
• removing barriers to and facilitating physical activity.

Guiding principles

• Address the ever-decreasing levels of physical activity and reduce inequities.
• Promote a life-course approach.
• Empower people and communities through health-enhancing environments and participation.
• Promote integrated, multisectoral, sustainable and partnership-based approaches.
• Ensure adaptability of physical activity programmes (interventions) to different contexts.
• Use evidence-based strategies to promote physical activity and to monitor ongoing implementation and impact.
