Research & Insights: Health & wellbeing
The latest research and insights on how physical activity is essential for our health and wellbeing.
Physical Activity is essential for all our health and wellbeing, but sometimes the people who could benefit the most, face the most barriers to getting active. Whether that is someone with a long-term health condition who isn't sure how to get started, or a pregnant woman who is unsure about exercising safely, we've gathered together research and insight below to help you support people to get active in ways that suit them.
Long term health conditions
Over 19 million adults in England live with one or more longstanding health conditions. These people are almost twice as likely to be inactive compared to people without a health condition.
We are Undefeatable
We are Undefeatable is a national campaign to support people who live with one or more long-term health conditions. It aims to help those with conditions such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis and Parkinson’s to build physical activity into their lives.
