Who We Are

A global cross-sectoral collaboration to advance children’s physical activity levels

Our Vision

A world where every child has the same rights, opportunities, and support to lead a physically active life.

Our Why
of adolescents are physically inactive.
40 %
USD 300 billion
If levels of physical inactivity are not reduced, the global estimate of the cost of physical inactivity to public health care systems between 2020 and 2030 is about US$ 300 billion.
of countries have a national physical activity policy, of which less than 40% are operational.
> 20 %
15% reduction
Nations are off track to meet the global target of 15% reduction in physical inactivity by 2030 (relative to 2010 levels).
Lack
There is a lack of attention, investment and commitment and a gap in collaboration in the physical activity sector. Especially cross-discipline and cross-sectoral cooperation is often fragmented and disconnected.
