| 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). Official site. | |

| NATURE REVIEWS: Health benefits of exercise - more than meets the eye! | |
| Although regular physical activity can prevent or reduce the risk of many age-related diseases, the molecular mechanisms underpinning the protective effects of exercise are largely unknown. In 2016, a series of studies demonstrated that crosstalk between tissues during exercise can protect against metabolic disease, cancer, retinal degeneration and memory loss. These studies provide a molecular basis for the concept of exercise as medicine. Read full article. | |

| Free Webinar: Health Impact Assessments - Their Role in Transportation Planning | |
| Free Webinar Register here. Wednesday, May 4, 2016, 11:00 a.m. EDT Description: Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) are a means of assessing the health impacts of policies, plans, and projects in various economic sectors using quantitative, qualitative, and participatory methods. Transportation systems contribute to traf c injuries, air pollution, diseases resulting from physical inactivity, and noise. However, these risks can be reduced by "healthy transport policies" that promote walking and cycling. In April, 2015, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) held a joint conference on "Moving Active Transportation to Higher Ground" conference held in Washington, DC. This webinar is a direct result of the conference, and features some of the key speakers. Flyer. | |
