Abstract With over 5 million attributed deaths per year, physical inactivity is a major global public health issue.

An analysis of national policy documents from 200 countries revealed notable progress in policy adoption since 2004, but we found limited evidence of implementation. A qualitative case study design, including insights from 46 key informants, confirmed low political priority.
