Physical Activity Content Development Project

Description 

This project aims to content for the Physical Activity (PA) section in Physiopedia. This content may also be used in the next Physical Acitivyt course that is run. Similarly to the Physical Activity MOOC that has just run this Summer. 

We intend to populate the site with practical, credible and thought-provoking information on all aspects of Physical Activity and what effects are of PA and and what we can each do to promote PA in our communities. 

Anyone is welcome to join in this project. You will be joining people from all over the world in contributing evidence based articles to create an evidence based reference on Physical Activity. In return for your efforts you will receive a certificate of completion to help you evidence your learning through your involvement with this project.
