Policies are one of the key determinants which influence physical activity levels of the population and act structurally and sustainably within organizations, as well as environments where people live, work, move and play (Bauman et al., 2012, Golden et al, 2015). Effective Health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) policies need to be developed...

Abstract Purpose Physical inactivity are complex problems to address. System thinking approach (STA) can be a solution to take into account the diversity of upstream factors by identifying leverage points and potential co-benefits of public policies. STA has not been explored at the local level in France. Based on existing local legislations...

Physical inactivity is considered a pandemic, requiring strong policy responses to address this major health issue. However, research on the development of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity policies (HEPA) remains scarce, particularly at the local level. There is a need to produce evidence to better understand the process to develop local HEPA...

La promotion de l'activité physique est un enjeu de santé publique essentiel. En France, l'activité physique figure à l'agenda politique de la santé publique depuis les années 2000, avec son introduction dans le premier Programme National Nutrition Santé (PNNS1). Nous en sommes aujourd'hui à la fin du quatrième PNNS, où l'activité physique a...

Background: Policy is one of the levers for initiating structural change to foster the promotion of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA). To this end, policy-makers have to deal with complex ecosystems embedded in specific contexts. However, limited research has been conducted on this topic at the local level. The purpose of this study was...

Dans un contexte de vieillissement des populations et d'accroissement des maladies chroniques, l'activité physique adaptée (APA) émerge de plus en plus comme une modalité de prise en charge de la santé. L'efficacité des APA dépend de l'adhésion des participants. Cet article aborde les motifs d'adhésion de seniors atteints de...

Une activité physique (AP) pratiquée au quotidien permet de diminuer le risque de développer de nombreuses maladies chroniques, et ses effets bénéfiques sont aujourd'hui bien documentés et démontrés, quels que soient l'âge et le sexe [1]. L'AP régulière accroît la longévité et réduit le risque de maladies chroniques liées au vieillissement,...

The promotion of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) has become a key objective in public health policy. Therefore, based on the national HEPA Policy Audit Tool Version 2 (HEPA PAT v2) of the World Health Organization, a tool was designed to support local governments in assessing HEPA policies. This study aims to describe the adaptation...

Policy is a powerful tool used to influence physical activity levels of populations. The World Health Organisation has specifically acknowledged the role of local governments in developing policies to promote Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA). However, scientific knowledge remains scant about the involvement of local governmental HEPA...

Abstract Although cross-sectoral cooperation is important at all levels, in practice it often remains at a declarative level. Different sectoral policies and the resulting measures to promote HEPA are usually disconnected, uncoordinated and without the necessary synergies. This pertains especially to local environments with less financial and...

There is strong evidence that physical activity has various benefits on health in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. However, studies on the socio-economic impacts of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) still remains scant, particularly in the French context. The aim of this report was to explore the grey and scientific...
