National Physical Activity Plan – Global Strategies for an Active Life

The National Physical Activity Plan is based on the vision that one day, everyone worldwide will lead physically active lives and live, work and play in environments that promote regular physical activity.

Like the 2026 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth, the plan is a comprehensive set of policies, programmes and initiatives designed to increase physical activity among all segments of the global population. The plan’s ultimate goal is to promote a national culture that supports a physically active lifestyle. Ultimately, it aims to improve health, prevent disease and disability, and enhance quality of life.

The Plan

Significant progress has been made worldwide in establishing physical activity as a public health priority. Yet, success in increasing physical activity at the population level has been very limited.

A comprehensive plan to promote physical activity in the global population would provide the framework for a broad and comprehensive national effort to increase physical activity across the population.

National plans have already been implemented with considerable success in other health areas. The current prevalence of chronic diseases, including obesity, and the associated costs dramatically highlight that it is time for the entire world to adopt a national physical activity plan, as some other countries already have.
