Physical inactivity a “global pandemic”
By SCOTT MCKIE B.P.
"Physical inactivity is a global pandemic according to a researcher at the University of Texas School of Public Health. Harold W. Kohl, III, Ph.D., wrote in a paper about the dire consequences of living a lifestyle devoid of regular physical activity.

Kohl said health officials need to put more efforts into increasing physical activity. “The response to physical activity has been incomplete, unfocused, understaffed and underfunded compared with other risk factors for non-communicable diseases. This has put physical activity in reverse gear compared with population trends and advances in tobacco and alcohol control and diet.”"
