Abstract

The purpose of the article was to review the scientific program concerning physical activity promotion research at the 20th International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) World Conference after launching the Toronto Charter for Physical Activity and to discuss current issues in implementing and disseminating physical activity promotion.<br>Twelve symposia, 5 workshops, 20 oral papers and 64 posters were reviewed with respect to their target population and study setting.<br>Papers presented at the conference were from Europe, North America and Western Pacific regions in which physical activity promotion has been implemented. Critical issues presented by participants from all over the world included the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases and pediatric obesity. To promote health through physical activity in the Japanese population, future research should determine: 1) environmental factors at the individual, interpersonal, local community and national levels based on an ecological model in diverse settings; 2) the effectiveness, economic efficiency and best practice of physical activity promotion intervention, especially among children and the elderly; and 3) ways to implement, disseminate and evaluate healt policy based on scientific evidence.<br>These actions are expected to contribute to improved health and to the promotion of a sustainable society through active living in Japan.
