Increasing amounts of health care costs are spent on managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, cardiopulmonary disease, cancer and mental health/dementia, especially with relation to increasingly ageing populations. Future health care needs are becoming more focused on prevention in order to avoid rising costs associated with chronic conditions and related disability. Physical activity is increasingly being recognised to both prevent these key conditions and/or help people live with them, physically, socially and psychologically.
