We are glad to have contributed to Sven Schneider's book on #climatechange as a health risk. It features 45 chapters from leading German experts. Our chapter discusses the negative impact of #sports on the #climate and how transforming the sport sector can reduce this impact.

Wake up call for more action & investment in PA.

The concept of physical literacy (PL) has strongly influenced #physicalactivity research & policy, but has yet to include a planetary health focus. This commentary calls for the elaboration of an "ecological domain" of PL for physically active lifestyles 🔗doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2023-07…
