Strategies for an active nation

SPONSORED BY INCORPORE & SUPPORTED BY ukactive

This stream will examine how the physical activity and its wider stakeholders can reach and influence the inactive, exploring how to create opportunities for people to be active in ways that fit their everyday lives and interests. We'll identify the challenges - and potential solutions - associated with specific population groups; we'll report on different routes to change, from individual behaviour change strategies to London's city-wide approach; and we'll investigate options to collaborate with GPs and physiotherapists.
