Physical inactivity kills: 5 million people a year

Progress to promote physical activity has stopped worldwide: more than 5 million overall deaths associated with sedentary lifestyle, with over 80% of adolescents and 16-62% of disabled people not following the directions. While the WHO also declares that daily physical activity must be promoted as a basic need.

“Being physically active is essential for the heart, mind and body, at all ages and with all abilities.”
