      The article discusses the dimensions of health promotion in physical activity. It states that coronary heart disease is twice as common in physically inactive individuals compared to the active ones.

Moreover, health promotion combines educational and environmental supports that encourage behaviors conducive to health, which can be accomplished through a broadly based combination of activities.
