Abstract
Lack of physical activity (PA) constitutes a global health hazard, due to its worldwide prevalence and rate of increase. The aim of this chapter is to analyse the levels and patterns of PA in several countries and different population groups and the factors influencing PA. It also focuses on physical inactivity as it will help to understand the current situation on PA. In summary, levels and patterns of PA vary across demographic groups but its promotion should be a public health priority, at the global, national and regional levels due to the considerable benefits on health and well-being.
