    Non-communicable diseases are projected to cause five times as many deaths as communicable diseases worldwide by 2030. In response, Brazil initiated the Agita Sao Paulo initiative to promote physical activity and associated health benefits through community events and activities. A mascot was adopted to signify 30 minutes of daily physical activity. This initiative has significantly increased physical activity in Brazil and been adopted by 72 other countries. As future healthcare professionals, the authors believe their influence can decrease physical inactivity by supporting and initiating health promotion activities to develop motivational skills. Non-communicable diseases develop over time, so early interventions can prevent them. Support is needed from governments and communities. Brazil took initiative for its people - what have other nations done?
