NICE – Physical activity
Increasing physical activity levels will help prevent and manage over 20 conditions and diseases including cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, musculoskeletal conditions and obesity. It can also help to promote mental wellbeing. So it is important that people incorporate regular physical activity into their daily lives.
  • This pathway includes recommendations for children, young people and adults, including teenage girls and women before, during and after pregnancy.
  • The recommendations cover policies and strategies to improve the physical environment as a means of encouraging physically active travel and other physical activities. In addition, they advise on action that the NHS and others in the community, workplaces and schools can take to encourage people to be physically active.
  • Align actions to promote physical activity with strategies to prevent obesity at a community level to ensure a coherent, integrated approach.
