Eight Investments That Work for Physical Activity Webinar

Eight Investments That Work for Physical Activity Webinar

Too few people around the world are physically active enough to  reap the public health, wealth, and wellbeing benefits. As a result, everyone everywhere must unite around a shared goal to get the world moving.  A key tenant for successful advocacy is gaining consensus on what works for increasing physical activity and the recent launch of the International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH) Eight Investments that work for Physical Activity is the answer.

The Eight Investment that work for Physical Activity document and resource kit were launched in November 2020 and provide a summary of eight areas for action, all evidence based and have worldwide applicability. The eight areas are.

1) Whole of school programs
2) Active Transport
3) Active Urban Design
4) Primary Health Care
5) Public Education including mass media
6) Sport and Recreation for all
7) Workplaces
8) Community-wide programmes

If the eight areas of investment are implemented around the world , we can be confident that we will move closer to achieving the World Health Organisation global target of reducing physical inactivity by 15% by 2030.  

ISPAH are calling for everyone everywhere , professionals, academics, civil society and decision makers, to advocate for physical activity national policy , local policies and regulation, accessible programs throughout the life course, a commitment to supportive environments and a culture of collaboration and cross-sector partnership working.

This webinar will provide a synthesis of the evidence behind the 8 Investments, discuss the process of its development, diving deep into each of the 8 Investments and critically explore how the ESSA community can be advocates.
