A call to action for Europe
Child health and physical activity experts from the SUNRISE European Study Group have issued an urgent call for European countries to prioritize promoting healthy movement habits in children under five.
Policies for school-age children: a good start
While European countries have made progress in developing physical activity policies for school-age children and adolescents, researchers recognize that there is still much to do for the youngest children.
Addressing the policy gap for children under five
The SUNRISE Group highlights the need to expand policies to include sedentary behavior such as screen time and sleep, and ensure their proper implementation and evaluation.
Environmental influences: the key to change
Experts emphasize that policies should address environmental influences that impact movement behaviors, such as the physical and social environment.
The crucial role of early childhood education and care
Early childhood education and care settings are essential to fostering healthy movement habits in younger children.
An investment in the future
The SUNRISE Group calls on European countries to collaborate to create effective policies that promote movement among children, ensuring a healthy and prosperous future for generations to come.
