Physical Activity Recommendations
on have national guidelines for physical activity which help health
agencies and private institutions to promote the importance of
physical activity. The EU Working Group ‘Sport & Health’ (2008)
made recommendations that would promote increased physical
activity in the European Union. These recommendations are ad-
dressed primarily to policy makers as inspiration for a formula-
tion of national physical activity guidelines. The first guideline is
based on World Health Recommendation. European Union recom-
mended a minimum of 60 minutes of daily moderate-intensity for
children and youth and at least of 30 minutes of daily moderate-
intensity physical activity for adults and seniors (EUPAG, 2008).
European guidelines were divided into sections sport; health; edu-
cation; transport, environment, urban planning and public safety;
working environment and services for senior citizens.
Kahlmeier et al. (2015) reviewed and systematically analyzed
physical activity recommendations of the World Health Organisa-
tion for the European region. Review of the research article con-
tains information on national recommendations and guidelines
for physical activity. Information about national physical activity
recommendations were found only in 37 countries (∼70%). Only
