Monitoring & surveillance
Ongoing monitoring of levels of physical activity is a central activity that underpins a coherent population based approach to physical activity.
Recent developments, such as the development and testing of IPAQ and GPAQ physical activity instruments for population monitoring will be supported as the future needs are identified and consolidated.
GAPA will work closely with WHO and other interested groups to continue the development of monitoring of physical activity and use of available data for the purpose of advocacy and programme development.
