Overview

Expert commentary demonstrates strategies to overcome physical inactivity in refugees and asylum seekers, highlighting the need for culturally capable exercise services.

Key Points

  • Culturally sensitive exercise services mitigate physical health disparities in resettled refugees, yet persistent structural barriers drive widespread physical inactivity.
  • Expert commentary synthesizes strategies to build exercise self-efficacy, emphasizing the severe trauma and cultural adjustment linked with forced displacement.
  • Developing cultural capability across the exercise workforce supports person-centered interventions, enabling safer physical activity programs in high-income nations.
