swiss active supports European initiative to promote physical activity against cardiovascular disease

swiss active supports the European initiative to recognize physical activity as a key factor in the prevention of CVD. The new EU Health Commissioner is planning a health plan to raise the profile of this issue.

A joint letter of recommendation calls for more priority to be given to physical activity, better collaboration with the health sector and financial support for targeted initiatives. It emphasizes that regular exercise makes a decisive contribution to reducing cardiovascular disease. swiss active calls on its members to actively pass on this message and promote health-promoting measures.
