Promoting health-enhancing physical activity in Europe: Current state of surveillance, policy development and implementation

The data collected under this HEPA monitoring framework provided, for the first time, an overview of the implementation of HEPA-related policies and actions at the national level throughout the EU. Areas that need more investment are the “Senior Citizens” sector followed by the “Work Environment”, and the “Environment, Urban Planning, and Public Safety” sectors. This information also enabled comparison of the state of play of HEPA policy implementation between EU Member States and facilitated the exchange of good practices.
