Fitness Policies Fail to Improve Activity
Global physical activity levels remain low despite more countries adopting fitness policies [https://news-medical.net/news/20260309/Global-physical-activity-levels-remain-low-despite-widespread-policy-adoption.aspx], due to socioeconomic and gender inequalities [https://news-medical.net/news/20260310/Global-study-reveals-how-inequality-limits-access-to-exercise-and-why-it-matters-for-health.aspx].
