In recent years, the Government has prioritised strategies aimed at increasing levels of physical activity and exercise amongst the general population, since there is known to be a link between exercise and major life-threatening conditions such as obesity, cardio-vascular disease and diabetes.

In this talk Professor John Brewer will identify the risks of inactivity, the benefits to the employer of a healthier workforce, (both financial and 'in-kind'), and discuss some schemes which could be introduced to provide opportunities for staff to improve their health and well-being.
