Welcome from the President

On behalf of ISPAH, I would like to welcome you to the ISPAH Congress 2024!

It is an exciting time for the physical activity field. The WHO 2020 Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines shone a light on what we know about the relationship between physical activity and health, and importantly what we don’t know. The guidelines prompted an enhanced focus on research in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, and on building the evidence in under-represented groups. 

The Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018 – 2030 provides a road map for scaled-up action, however the Global Status Report on Physical Activity 2022 highlights that progress has been slow and uneven. Scaled up implementation is needed across all world regions. This Congress offers an opportunity to share practice and support the development of scalable and sustainable action. 

The ISPAH Congress provides the largest global platform for sharing recent developments in research, policy, and practice. As we count down to 2030 – the deadline to achieve the global target for a 15% reduction in physical inactivity – this event is timely to stocktake on progress and set forth evidence-based actions to achieve our shared goal.

We look forward to seeing you in Paris!
