    Abstract

    International research has established that the importance of physical activity for health is more serious than its role in the “obesity epidemic”, which inspires so much commentary. Physical activity reduces the risk of various cancers, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes, and improves skeletal health. A major part of the overall physical activity of adults consists of sport and recreational physical exercise. To the extent that sports policy has the ability to increase participation in sport and exercise, there is consequently a sound justification for spending public money on it.
