Inventory overview

A total of 325 documents were retrieved from across the European Region, mostly with national scope (about two thirds).

  • Of these, most are on physical activity and health promotion or on physical activity and transport, and only a few are about physical activity and sports or environment. The same pattern applies for documents found with subnational scope, which mostly concern physical activity and transport.

The analysis by country shows that a national policy document on physical activity promotion was reported in 28 Member States.

  • Of these, 26 have at least one national policy document focusing on physical activity and public health or health promotion, 13 focus on physical activity and sport and 10 on physical activity and transport.
