Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend that the Department’s “national movement campaign” include targeted messaging aimed at the least active and people approaching older age. These messages should demonstrate how movement can be incorporated into daily habits, use relatable role models and focus on examples of movement that will increase strength and balance. (Recommendation, Paragraph 75)
