Side Event on Physical Activity and Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) brought together an extraordinary group of world ministers of health, public health professionals, physical activity advocates, scientists, elite athletes and other experts. The focus was on physical activity as a global health opportunity, informing the deliberations of the U.N. High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases taking place today and tomorrow.

Background on the Physical Activity Side Event
At the Sept. 18 event, U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, M.D., M.B.A., joined ministers of health from several Latin American nations to discuss strategies for promoting physical activity as a public health measure in various settings. Champion athletes Gary Hall, Jr., Sarah Hughes, Wendy Hilliard and Chris Waddell lent their perspectives and enthusiasm.
In coming weeks and months, look for more about the ideas and strategies generated by the cross-fertilization of top experts in diverse sectors at Sunday’s Side Event (a U.N. term meaning a pre-conference or related session). ACSM convened the session with the help of partner organizations: The CDC/WHO Collaborating Center for Physical Activity and Health, the Pan-American Health Organization, and the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition.
