The health benefits of physical activity are greater than previously assumed
Previous studies have shown that physical inactivity is associated with a loss of health at an individual and societal level. In 2010, the Norwegian Directorate of Health estimated the welfare benefits of physical activity. This report presents new estimates based on updated research that estimate the health benefits associated with physical activity. The work started in spring 2022 and was finalised in winter 2024.
