A new article published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine highlights the successes of the VANGUARD project, a decade-long initiative aimed at integrating physical activity education into healthcare curricula across the UK and Europe. By embedding physical activity modules into medical and allied health programs, the project helps healthcare professionals better address noncommunicable diseases through prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. The study emphasizes the need for faster curriculum changes to combat rising noncommunicable diseases and outlines future directions for continued integration.
