Abstract

In April 2004, the Chief Medical Officer published an in-depth review of the impact of physical activity on health (Department of Health 2004). This long-awaited report presents the scientific evidence for encouraging moderate intensity physical activity and addresses the health problems associated with inactivity. It comes at a time of massive media and academic interest in the problems associated with sedentary lifestyles, in particular concerns about the global rise in obesity.
