EUPAP

A European Physical Activity on Prescription model Organisations from ten EU member states will be partners in this  3-year project for facilitating the transfer of the Swedish best practice model for physical activity on prescription (FaR).

The overall objectives are to promote good health and to prevent of non-communicable disease through implementing country-based physical  activity on prescription (PAP) programs in health services in several countries.

This proposal focus on this transfer of best practice acknowledging the need for collaboration between countries and added value of interdisciplinary and policy-practice-research collaboration.

The health service is an excellent arena for health promotion due to its coverage and access for the whole population. The prescription of physical activity is a method that can reach and enable different population groups enhancing their physical activity for prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases.

Moreover, given access to  health services this includes also socially disadvantaged groups leading to reduction in health inequalities. This means that the  present proposal has the potential to contribute to meeting the objects and priorities in the work programme.
