From October 28 to 31st, lab members had the opportunity to participate in the 10th ISPAH Congress 2024 conference hosted in Paris, France by the French Society of Public Health. The ISPAH Congress is the biggest platform dedicated to sharing updates on The Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030. Hoping to achieve the global target goal of reducing physical inactivity by 15% by 2030, this Congress allows a space where collaboration between public health professionals, practitioners, and researchers can explore different methods of taking action.
This year’s conference theme was “Accelerating policy and practice to ensure physical activity for all,” by addressing inequalities in physical activity participation, strengthening partnerships for a unified approach, and delivering sustainable change locally, nationally, and globally.

Physical Activity Initiative
Three lab groups, each primarily focused on physical activity, collaborate to form the Physical Activity Initiative. This partnership leverages the expertise and resources of the individual labs to advance research and interventions promoting physical activity across various populations.
