A report recently published by the WHO warns that, as a result of physical inactivity, almost 500 million people will develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes, or other noncommunicable diseases in the decade from 2020 to 2030. MedTwitter
The document, which has measured the extent to which governments are implementing recommendations to increase physical activity across all ages and abilities based on data from 194 countries, shows that there is slow progress. According to the international body, states should urgently accelerate the development and implementation of policies to increase levels of exercise with the aim of preventing diseases and reducing the burden on healthcare systems that are already overwhelmed.
As determined by a study carried out at the beginning of the year by Colorado State University and the Barcelona Institute for Global Health , promoting the use of bicycles could prevent as many as 205,000 premature deaths each year. According to this study, which calculated the impact on health of a global shift toward urban cycling in 17 countries in 2050, to increase the use of bicycles, it would be necessary to urgently introduce measures that would encourage it.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has not only stalled these initiatives, but also has affected the implementation of other policies. It has widened inequalities in access and opportunities to participate in physical activity for many communities and settings such as schools.
