The World Health Organization states that approximately 3.2 million people die as a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle every year. Based on this diagnosis, the member countries of the WHO have proposed the creation of public policies that promote a healthy and active lifestyle among the population, in order to transform their health. In this context, sports and physical activity become the main tool to achieve this goal. This essay will assess the role of sports and physical activity as health promotion tools from the perspective of individual health care promotion. Furthermore, this paper concludes that it is necessary to include a bioethical perspective in the use of sports in public policies.
世界卫生组织指出，每年约有320万人因久坐不动的生活方式而死亡。基于这一诊断结果，世卫组织成员国提议制定公共政策，以促进民众养成健康、积极的生活方式，从而改善他们的健康状况。在此背景下，体育和身体活动成为实现这一目标的主要工具。本文将从促进个人医疗保健的角度评估体育和身体活动作为健康促进工具的作用。此外，本文得出结论，在公共政策中使用体育时纳入生物伦理视角是必要的。
