[Geral] EPHEPA Project
European Collaborative Partnership on Sport and Health Enhancing Physical Activity - EPHEPA

Insufficient levels of physical activity are prevalent in Europe and represent an important risk factor for non-communicable diseases. In most EU countries, institutional and policy frameworks and capacities to promote health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) are still under development. This results in a lack of specific action plans and implementation strategies as well as in insufficient intersectoral collaboration.

Our Project involves a range of partners across Europe from Finland, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Croatia, Portugal, and closely interacts with WHO Regional Office for Europe. We will tackle this gap between evidence, policies and actions by:

- enhanced intersectoral exchange across a wider range of key stakeholders and sectors
- stronger and broader networks to foster sport and HEPA promotion across all relevant sectors and in all parts of the EU
- a stronger knowledge-base on effective policies and approaches to promote HEPA.

The Project is lead by Professor Charlie Foster, from the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford, with collaboration by Dr Sonja Kahlmeier of the University of Zurich. EPHEPA began on the 1st January 2015 and will run over 3 years (01/01/15 - 31/12/17).
