Public health England (PHE) has produced a new physical activity online tool, designed to support local health improvement by making local data available alongside national comparisons.

The tool brings together physical activity data for the whole of England – including walking and cycling – as well as data on related risk factors and conditions such as obesity and diabetes.

According to PHE, the tool – which is part of PHE’s Everybody Active, Every Day framework – will help promote physical activity at a local level.

“The tool is easy to use and data is presented at local level to help promote physical activity at an organisation, programme and individual level – as well as develop understanding and support benchmarking, commissioning and service improvement,” a spokesperson for PHE said.

“To make Everybody Active, Every Day a reality we need to monitor progress and measure the impact at a population level.”
