Abstract

The World Health Organization released new guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour in November 2020. This commentary summarises these guidelines, including the new elements. An evaluation of the guidelines for each specific sub-population is provided. Finally, as the author group includes physical activity researchers from four continents, we provide recommendations on how to support the implementation of the new guidelines.
