EHFA is delighted to release the Executive Summary Report of Becoming the Hub EU funded project findings and evidence that have been presented at the EHFA London Summit on 22^nd November 2010.

Over 70 delegates from across Europe and around the world attended a specially convened conference that was addressed by Jacob Kornbeck from the EU Commission DG EAC Sport Unit, and Prof. Dr Harold (Bill) Kohl III, President of the International Society of Physical Activity and Health.

The Executive Summary recommendations were discussed and agreed by the delegates who signed a public pledge:

Based on the evidence that now exists, the health and fitness sector believes it can provide a crucial role to use its extensive range of resources and skills to engage and stimulate citizens to achieve the EU Guidelines on Physical Activity. The European fitness industry will build a framework of action to encourage mass participation in exercise and activity. This will be based on the highest levels of professional collaboration and inter-agency coordination to develop integrated policies, campaigns and recommendations of best practice to get:  MORE PEOPLE | MORE ACTIVE | MORE OFTEN

The work on the project continues with the final report and recommendations being submitted to the EU Commission in February 2011.
