Abstract

The article discusses the process of updating and aligning the Swiss Physical Activity (PA) guidelines with the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. The Swiss guidelines were updated to reflect global recommendations while considering Switzerland's unique characteristics and cultural context. The updated guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for Swiss citizens to lead healthier, more active lives and contribute to global efforts to improve public health. Stakeholder engagement and consultation were integral to ensuring broad acceptance and implementation of the guidelines. The article focuses specifically on movement recommendations for pregnant and postnatal women in Switzerland. [Extracted from the article]
