In the third week of October, the importance of physical activity for people’s well-being was addressed during the Monday meeting.
This issue was also discussed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which launched a new “Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030”, in 2018, that outlines four policy action areas and 20 specific policy recommendations and actions for member states, international partners and WHO to increase physical activity worldwide.

“This global action plan calls on countries and communities to adopt a “whole-system” response involving all sectors and stakeholders acting at global, regional, and local levels to provide safe and supportive environments and more opportunities to help people increase their levels of physical activity”.

It is a program that involves all age groups of the population, from children to the elderly, and has as its main goal to reduce physical inactivity worldwide by about 15 % by 2030.
Against this view, the discussion that took place at this October meeting was intense and very interesting. MAGISNAT scientists have, also like the WHO, stressed the importance of adopting a Mediterranean lifestyle and, consequently, practicing moderate physical activity for the well-being of the population.
