Abstract

Despite the important role of physical activity in population health and well-being, it has received less focus in public health ethics as compared to other modifiable lifestyle factors such as smoking and diet. However, when considering the current and potential role of physical activity within public health—including interventions and policies to encourage physical activity in schools and workplaces, changes to the built environment and the equity issues associated with access to physical activity—it is a ripe territory for ethical analysis. This paper makes a case for a more sustained focus on physical activity within public health ethics by reviewing two ethical issues within physical activity and public health: physical activity inequity as a structural injustice issue, and stigma in physical activity promotion. While the benefits of physical activity for every age group and demographic are numerous, ethics oversight is encouraged to ensure that these efforts do not impose unnecessary risks or stigmatize marginalized populations.

谨慎锻炼：体育活动促进中的伦理分析案例

尽管体育活动在人口健康和福祉方面发挥着重要作用，但与吸烟和饮食等其他可改变的生活方式因素相比，它在公共卫生伦理方面受到的关注较少。然而，当考虑到体育活动在公共卫生中的当前和潜在作用时，包括鼓励在学校和工作场所进行体育活动的干预措施和政策，建筑环境的变化以及与获得体育活动相关的公平问题，这是一个成熟的伦理分析领域。本文通过回顾体育活动和公共卫生中的两个伦理问题:作为结构性不公正问题的体育活动不平等，以及体育活动促进中的耻辱，为在公共卫生伦理中更持续地关注体育活动提供了一个案例。虽然体育活动对每个年龄组和人口都有很多好处，但鼓励进行道德监督，以确保这些努力不会带来不必要的风险或使边缘化人群蒙受耻辱。

Our aim is to publish readable papers of high scientific quality which will stimulate debate and discussion about ethical issues relating to all aspects of public health. Our main criteria for grading manuscripts include originality and potential impact, quality of philosophical analysis, and relevance to debates in public health ethics and practice. Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the understanding that they have been submitted solely to Public Health Ethics and that they have not been previously published either in whole or in part. Authors may not submit papers that are under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if an author decides to offer a submitted paper to another journal, the paper must be withdrawn from Public Health Ethics before the new submission is made. The editorial office will make every effort to deal with submissions to the journal as quickly as possible. All papers will be acknowledged on receipt by email and will receive preliminary editorial review within 2 weeks. Papers of high interest will be sent out for external review. Authors will normally be notified of acceptance, rejection, or need for revision within 8 weeks of submission.
