The 2018 published World Health Organisation (WHO) Europe physical activity factsheet reports, specify agreed targets for physical activity and articulate the need to improve the education of medical doctors and healthcare practitioners in order to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary time in people at risk and/or living with Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs). Given the dearth of relevant initiatives and the continuous need to increase physical activity participation towards better health management of NCDs, the aim of this study is to embed physical activity in the undergraduate curricula of future frontline healthcare professionals (medical doctors and allied health professions) in European countries.
The irtual dvice, urturing, uidance on niversal ction, esearch and evelopment for physical activity and sport engagement (VANGUARD) project consists of a collaborative partnership Consortium between six European Universities, WHO Europe and Ministry representatives that has been developed to implement physical activity in the curricula of medical schools and healthcare professions. The methodology of the VANGUARD project is informed by the WHO implementation guidance and the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework.
Through a carefully planned implementation process and via using established appropriate implementation evaluation tools, the end result of the VANGUARD project will be the a) implementation of a physical activity module in six different European Universities (five medical schools and one physiotherapy department) and b) development of a toolkit/guide, in order to assist other healthcare systems and European Universities to develop relevant grass-root innovations for addressing the decline in physical activity levels.
2018年发布的世界卫生组织（WHO）欧洲身体活动情况说明书报告，明确了身体活动的既定目标，并阐明了提高医生和医疗从业者教育水平的必要性，以便增加身体活动并减少有患病风险和/或患有非传染性疾病（NCD）的人群的久坐时间。鉴于相关举措的匮乏以及持续需要增加身体活动参与度以更好地管理非传染性疾病，本研究的目的是将身体活动纳入欧洲国家未来一线医疗专业人员（医生和专职医疗专业）的本科课程中。
虚拟咨询、培养、通用行动指导、身体活动与体育参与研究和发展（VANGUARD）项目由六所欧洲大学、世卫组织欧洲办事处和部委代表组成的合作联盟构成，该联盟旨在将身体活动纳入医学院校和医疗专业的课程中。VANGUARD项目的方法依据世卫组织的实施指南以及覆盖范围、有效性、采用率、实施情况和维持情况（RE-AIM）框架制定。
通过精心规划的实施过程并使用既定的适当实施评估工具，VANGUARD项目的最终成果将是：a）在六所不同的欧洲大学（五所医学院和一个物理治疗系）实施身体活动模块；b）开发一套工具包/指南，以协助其他医疗系统和欧洲大学开展相关的基层创新，以应对身体活动水平下降的问题。
