Promoting networking, exchange and greater synergy Website between sport and health-enhancing physical activity sectors www.euro.who.int/hepaeurope Background Physical activity is a major contributor to healthy living. Its effective promotion is essential to prevent a number of non-communicable diseases and conditions and requires the concerted action of many different sectors. The sport sector has a key role to play in promoting exercise and health-enhancing physical activity. However, the potential of the sport sector to foster health enhancing physical activity is under-utilized and synergies between the sport and health sector need to be further developed. To strengthen the cooperation between the health and sport sector the European Commission finances nine transnational project, including the one-year NET- SPORT-HEALTH project, which will be delivered by WHO regional Office for Europe. Aim of Project ¾strengthening networking and exchange between the main health and sport actors actively engaged in physical activity promotion; ¾identify elements in sports and public health policies which promote synergy and coherence in the attainment of health-enhancing physical activity.
