© Oxford University Press 2010. All rights reserved. This chapter presents a selected overview of the latest evidence for population approaches for increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviour in different population segments (e.g., children, adolescents, young adults, mid-life adults, and older adults). It considers this evidence within a social ecological context. Emerging issues and directions in the field are also presented.
