ABSTRACT
Health is a key indicator of international and national development. While health is integrated in many of the SDGs, Goal 3 is focused solely on the development of good health and well-being. There is currently a global increase in sedentary behavior and reduced physical activity that has direct impact on multiple physical and mental health outcomes. Physical activity and sport can play a large part in the development of good health across the globe. This chapter overviews SDG 3 with a particular focus on the role that sport and physical activity have in enhancing health and well-being across the globe.
