NEBB-Update

Update and Further Development of the National Recommendations for Physical Activity and Physical Activity Promotion (NEBB-Update)

The NEBB-Update project aims to update the existing German Recommendations for Physical Activity and Physical Activity Promotion based on the latest scientific findings and to further develop them by considering additional target groups (people with disabilities, the old old, pregnant women, and postpartum women) as well as aspects of health equity, planetary health, and the quality of physical activity.

The existing National Recommendations for Physical Activity and Physical Activity Promotion (NEBB), published in 2016, have had a significant political and societal impact, initiating numerous national activities to promote physical activity, including:

• Follow-up projects at the DSS for the implementation and dissemination of the National Recommendations for Physical Activity and Physical Activity Promotion (KOMBINE, VERBUND)
• Research funding on physical activity and physical activity promotion
• The Round Table on Physical Activity and Health

However, new scientific insights have emerged since then, necessitating an update. Against this backdrop, the Federal Ministry of Health announced within the framework of the Round Table on Physical Activity and Health its intention to further develop and adapt the physical activity recommendations to current scientific and societal demands.

A key feature of the NEBB-Update is the participatory process, which involves numerous experts in physical activity promotion in the update and further development, with the aim of facilitating the transfer of scientific recommendations into practice.
