BACKGROUND


Globally, more than 1.4 billion adults are at risk of developing or exacerbating diseases due to a lack of physical activity, according to the recent World Health Organization (WHO) study in 2018.


Physical inactivity is a complex and multi-factorial behavior whose determinants vary across countries. Over the past years, Singapore’s sedentary lifestyle influenced by rapid urbanization has been a public health concern with serious health implications. Lack of time or energy and its tropical climate further deter individuals from participating in physical activity.


OBJECTIVES


This symposium aims to:


    

  • Review the current status of physical activity in Singapore
    • 

  • Share national programs and guidelines for promoting and performing physical activity
    • 

  • Discuss technological tools for tracking and assessing physical activity; and
    • 

  • Highlight nutritional approaches and exercise strategies for maximizing health and physical performance.
    •
