The new study from WHO researchers and academics found physical inactivity globally has risen between 2010 and 2022.
: Almost 1.8 billion adults are at risk of diseases such as cancer, stroke, dementia and diabetes due to a lack of exercise – and the situation is getting worse, according to a report.
If current trends continue, experts predict that by 2030, some 35 per cent of people will not be doing enough exercise. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, said: “These new findings highlight a lost opportunity to reduce cancer, heart disease and improve mental well-being through increased physical activity.
Vigorous activity examples are hiking, jogging at 10 km/h or faster, shovelling, fast cycling, a football game, basketball or tennis. And although high-income Western countries appear to be slowly reducing rates of inactivity , they are still off track.The World Health Assembly has set a global target – widely expected to be missed – of a 15 per cent reduction in insufficient physical activity between 2010 and 2030.
