The handbook also delivers chapter specific practical recommendations for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. The Handbook details fundamental background information on the history and development of physical activity and health and its many benefits for population physical and mental health and specific clinical groups. It outlines the latest evidence of how effective physical activity interventions are, and how they contribute co-benefits in different sectors, including transport and community planning, sport, mitigating climate change and how benefits can be demonstrated through comprehensive evaluation, including economic evaluation.
