Cross-sectional profiling
Dear Signatories of the Hamburg Declaration and supporters of the Global Alliance for the Promotion of Physical Activity,
Dear professionals and institutions interested in joining the Alliance,
The signing of the Hamburg Declaration in 2021 1 and on Precision Prevention on June 27, 2025 2 signals the transition from scattered initiatives to a coordinated global effort to embed physical activity, sports and health promotion within community systems, sport environments, and policy frameworks alike. This approach aims to connect scientific knowledge with practical implementation, addressing the complex health challenges societies face today, while safe-guarding performance and inclusivity.
Besides the current valuable support of many organisations like Sport Accord and the International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS), we need to connect with different perspectives, to assertively cooperate and act intercontinentally.
To help us better understand and support your efforts and contributions, we kindly request your participation in this questionnaire. Its aim is to characterize the organizations and individuals involved and to identify the most assertive ways to connect globally.
Your insights are highly valued and will greatly contribute to our collective mission.
