Progress in physical activity and health

Daily physical activity can improve our quality of life and potential longevity, i.e., our ability to enjoy a full life with ourselves and our environment. Citizens usually do not have access to the concrete application aspects shown by new scientific evidence. And we in science and academia are not able to communicate this in a clear and direct way. Therefore, citizens learn about these concepts from the media, where information is not always reliable.
