EuropeActive is launching a new event dedicated to promoting health-enhancing physical activity and its impact on communities and individuals.

The Exercise for Health Summit (EfHS) will be held in Madrid, Spain, on 20-22 November during the Spanish Presidency of the European Council in the second half of 2023.

EfHS will include keynotes from leading academic and policy experts, roundtable sessions and presentations featuring case studies and "promising practices" from around the world.

EuropeActive is currently in discussions with The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) with the view to publishing all of the contributions made at EfHS in a special Supplement of its new open access Journal, Exercise, Sport, and Movement (ESM).

Confirmed speakers at the event include I-Min Lee, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School – whose primary area of interest is in the role of physical activity for preventing chronic diseases and enhancing longevity, and in women’s health – and Jonatan R Ruiz, associate professor at the Faculty of Sport Sciences at the University of Granada (Spain).

"EfHS is a unique event where health and fitness professionals can be part of driving positive change in the healthcare industry through the promotion of physical activity and its benefit," EuropeActive said.
