[The activities on increasing level of physical activity: The international experience].

Abstract

The article presents analysis of measures targeted to increasing level of physical activity implemented in various countries. The state programs of prevention of hypodynamia are to be implemented at individual, group and population levels. The efficiency of such state programs in different countries are analyzed. The relationship between level of physical activity and quality and availability of such elements of urban environment as public transport, availability of bicycle paths, proximity of parks and stadiums to places of residence are considered. The further study of this problem is necessary, especially in the long term perspective.
