This is my first article but also a call for action. There are ways to live healthier and more fulfilling lives while building a more socially just society that respects planetary boundaries. What role could sport/physical activity play in this effort?tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A new review from @LionAlexis & colleagues found no evidence supporting an effect of elite sport in ⬆️ physical activity or sport participation in the general population. Attn policy makers: promotion of elite sport alone is not enough! @AnneVuillemin @florian_leon @AurelieHoye

It’s cheaper to poach health workers from other countries than it is to train more ourselves and from a neoliberal perspective this is a good “business model”. It is another sign of how we have abandoned our own young people to casual, insecure work. theguardian.com/society/2022/j…
