16 ROAD MAP FOR A STRATEGY ON HEALTH-ENHANCING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Synthesis of the case study

The document is the report of a WHO meeting (World Health Organisation) in Erlangen, Germany, on 25-26 March 2014. Country representatives and experts on physical activity from 11 Member States of the WHO European Region, together with staff members from WHO and the European Commission, discussed the main elements and laid out a road map to develop an European physical activity strategy mandated by the Vienna Declaration in July 2013. The group also discussed the evidence base, potential cooperation with other international organisations, and the relation of the strategy with existing WHO frameworks, strategies and action plans, and collected experiences and good practice from Member States that might inform the development of the strategy.
