International trade organisation, the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI), has released some resources to support physical activity during the current Coronavirus crisis. The physical activity resources support the World Health Organisation (WHO) call to stay #healthyathome.
WFSGI notes…
COVID-19 is causing challenging circumstances for the sporting community as well as the sporting goods industry. At WFSGI, our thoughts are with our global communities, members, colleagues, partners, families and friends who have already been impacted by the unprecedented spread of COVID-19.
As the global federation for the sporting goods industry, we are committed to doing our best to help the industry successfully navigate through the COVID-19 crisis and, where possible, facilitate collective action on behalf of our member companies to help the global community.
It is for this reason that WFSGI is sharing with you the free physical activity resources that its members (and their community partners) have created or made available to help the global community be safely active during the COVID-19 crisis.
There are a range of resources which cover different ages, languages, times and levels of activity and include on-demand fitness content. In particular, however, there are numerous resources aimed at keeping kids and families active during COVID-19.
This collation of physical activity resources has been led by the WFSGI and its Physical Activity Committee and in response to a request by Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) call for us all to stay #healthyathome.
We have summarised the resources in an overview table with the relevant online links (available to download online) and the accompanying PDF materials are available in the public section of our download centre. Just follow the path Physical Activity & COVID-19 Physical Activity Resources -> COVID-19: Physical Activity Resources from WFSGI Members.
