The Effectiveness of Public Health Interventions for Increasing Physical Activity Among Adults: A Review of Reviews
This briefing presents the current evidence from selected good quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses published since 1996. The review will be updated regularly as new evidence becomes available; the latest version can be downloaded from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) website (http://www.nice.org.uk/aboutnice/whoweare/aboutthehda/hdapublications/p103.jsp). It aims to identify interventions shown to be effective in increasing physical activity among adults, and is intended to inform policy and decision makers, NHS providers, public health physicians and other public health practitioners in the widest sense. The briefing has been produced by the HDA and its Physical Activity Evidence and Guidance Collaborating Centre, and is an update of the first version published in February 2004.
