Initiatives to promote physical activity can have increased effectiveness when health agencies form partnerships and coordinate efforts with several other organizations: schools; businesses; policy, advocacy, nutrition, recreation, planning, and transport agencies; and health-care organizations

Effective public communication and informational approaches promoting physical activity include community-wide campaigns, mass media campaigns, and decision prompts encouraging the use of stairs versus lifts and escalators.

Initiatives to increase social support for physical activity within communities, specific neighbourhoods, and worksites can effectively promote physical activity

Comprehensive school-based strategies encompassing physical education, classroom activities, after-school sports, and active transport can increase physical activity in young people

Environmental and policy approaches can create or enhance access to places for physical activity with outreach activities; infrastructural initiatives through urban design of land use and planning at community and street scales and active transport policy and practices are effective

To properly support initiatives for the promotion of physical activity, workforces need to be trained in physical activity and health, core public health disciplines, and methods of intersectoral collaboration

Although individuals need to be informed and motivated to adopt physical activity, the public health priority should be to ensure

Community tasks that lead to successful interventions

Sufficient resources to effectively inform, educate, and empower residents to achieve recommended levels of physical activity where they live, work, and learn

Mobilize intersectoral partnerships to develop effective strategies through informational, social, and behavioural, and policy and environmental approaches to physical activity promotion

Develop policies and plans for policy implementation and assessment that support individual and community efforts to promote physical activity and active living

Use evidence-based and promising practice methods for planning and implementation of community-based physical activity interventions and communication of physical activity messages

Implement innovative new interventions and ensure they are assessed to add to the evidence base

Understand and promote active living principles through national, regional or state, and community partnerships to organize and support active transport, active sport, and active recreation

Understand and apply key components of evidence-based approaches to assessmentof physical activity promotion

Form partnerships with public health agencies to undertake routine surveillance of physical activity and inactivity behaviours in community-specific residents, such as specific health, environmental, and policy correlates

Provide training and capacity building in partnership with other community organizations in use and adaptation of evidence-based physical activity interventions
