Do we need another professional society?

As the field of physical activity and health has begun to develop from areas such as exercise psychology, behavioral science, and public health, no existing professional society can meet the growing demands of the entire field. Our vision is to bring together professionals from each of these disciplines into one community interested in physical activity and health.

ISPAH will be the first professional organization to provide Focus, an International Voice, Promotion and Practice, and Leadership to the entire field of physical activity and health.

The adverse health consequences of physical inactivity and the worldwide prevalence of the problem create a global urgency that demands innovation and bold steps. Please join us in advancing the field of physical activity and health with the International Society for Physical Activity and Health.
