Mental health awareness for sport and physical activity - Feedback form Andrea Vincze.docx

A joint report from the Sport for Development Coalition and Mind has recommended initiating a new cross-Government strategy to strengthen the use of physical activity and sport to support mental health and wellbeing following the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ‘Moving for Mental Health’ report – which includes involvement from Loughborough University and Edge Hill University – recommends the new strategy is led by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, and includes better training for health professionals to prescribe movement for mental health.

Produced following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the report sets out clear evidence that developing a healthy relationship with physical activity and being involved in linked programmatic interventions and social networks is beneficial, can improve people’s mental health and wellbeing and help tackle social isolation.
