Thank you!

Dear ISPAH Congress Participants,

On behalf of the organizing committee, we extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you who joined us for the 8th International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH) Congress, held virtually from October 12 to 14, 2021.

Despite the challenges of the global pandemic, we were honoured to welcome delegates from over 30 countries to participate in this important global forum—the largest of its kind dedicated to physical activity and public health. We are especially grateful to the thought-leaders, policymakers, researchers, Indigenous Elders, and community members who contributed to meaningful conversations and knowledge-sharing throughout the event.

The theme, “The Wholistic Approach to Health and Wellness through Physical Activity: Body, Spirit, and Mind,” grounded our program in a shared commitment to advancing equity, promoting wellness across the lifespan, and addressing global health disparities—particularly within Indigenous communities.

If you would like to revisit highlights from the Congress, we invite you to view the official event summary available here:

Thank you once again for your active participation, engagement, and support in making the 8th ISPAH Congress a truly global and impactful gathering.

Warm regards,
The ISPAH 2021 Vancouver Organizing Committee
