Global Physical Activity Inequalities: A Modern Framework for Public Health

Surveillance

  • Expand physical activity surveillance beyond leisure-time activity to include occupational and transport-related domains.
  • Collect data on socioeconomic status, gender, and other intersecting social identities alongside physical activity measures.
  • Monitor physical activity security indicators, including access to safe, affordable, and enjoyable physical activity opportunities.

Research

  • Investigate the biological mechanisms linking physical activity to immunity, mental health, and cancer prevention/control.
  • Conduct intersectional research to understand how multiple social identities shape physical activity patterns and health outcomes.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to address physical activity inequalities and promote physical activity security.

Promotion

  • Shift messaging from solely focusing on exercise for weight loss to emphasizing the broader health and wellbeing benefits of physical activity.
  • Develop interventions that address the social and environmental determinants of physical activity, particularly for marginalized populations.
  • Advocate for policies that promote physical activity security, such as investments in active transportation infrastructure and safe workplaces.

Policy

  • Integrate physical activity considerations into all relevant policy areas, including urban planning, transportation, education, and healthcare.
  • Prioritize interventions that reduce inequalities in access to physical activity opportunities.
  • Promote cross-sectoral collaboration to create supportive environments for physical activity.
