Sports and healthy lifestyles as contributing factors to the right to health 2016, para. 40
Paragraph
Paragraph text
States should take steps to disseminate information to populations on sport and healthy lifestyles. Such dissemination takes two primary forms: physical education, and awareness-raising through the media and other channels. States should raise awareness of the importance of physical activity (outside of formal education mechanisms) and should encourage individuals to participate through public health campaigns. Again, what is appropriate will vary based on the jurisdiction, but encouraging examples are provided by certain States, such as mass exercise on World Day for Physical Activity to promote participation in sport.
