Being active is good for health.
Join WHO Department of Health Promotion, Physical Activity unit for our global webinar to hear about the new global comparable estimates of physical inactivity. The webinar will share key results and discuss implications for policy and practice. For the first time, the results also include a forecast of levels of inactivity in 2030 to assess if the world is on track to meet the global target of 15% relative reduction as set out in Global Action Plan on Physical Activity (WHA71.6).
These results provide estimates for: globally, 9 country groupings, 6 WHO regions, and by country, age and sex; will be available from 26 June 2024 in The Lancet Global Health; and will be supported by a WHO summary report.
Our speakers will share the key results and a panel will discuss the implications and actions needed to be on track to achieve the global target set for 15% relative reduction in inactivity by 2030.
