Summary

The Global Advocacy for Physical Activity (GAPA) is an Advocacy Council of the International Society of Physical Activity and Health. GAPA's aim is to increase physical activity globally. GAPA like other global advocacy boards develop documents - e.g. The Toronto Charter - and other measures to inform which principles and action areas should be taken into account to influence and unite decision makers in order to successfully increase health-enhancing behaviors on a population level.
