Rethinking our approach to physical activity

Das, P., & Horton, R. (2012). Rethinking our approach to physical activity. The Lancet 380 (pp. 189-190)

This Series on physical activity is not about sport and it is about more than just exercise. It is about the relationship between human beings and their environment, and about improving human wellbeing by strengthening that relationship. It is about using the body that we have in the way it was designed, which is to walk often, run sometimes, and move in ways where we physically exert ourselves regularly whether that is at work, at home, in transport to and from places, or during leisure time in our daily lives. The first step in what must be a social revolution towards an active, and away from a passive, physical and mental life should be to assemble the best experts in the field and the best evidence to understand what we know about the relationship between human health and physical activity. This goal is the purpose of this Series.
