In his statement, Prof. Dr. Necmettin Yıldız said: “‘Move for Health Day’ is of great importance in drawing attention to the global health risks caused by physical inactivity and encouraging individuals of all age groups to adopt a more active lifestyle. Today, the increasingly widespread sedentary lifestyle has become one of the main causes of many chronic diseases, particularly musculoskeletal disorders, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic problems. Regular physical activity, however, is not only essential for disease prevention but also one of the most effective, accessible, and natural treatment methods for maintaining functional capacity and improving quality of life. An active lifestyle is not limited to daily routine activities. Planned exercises that help maintain muscle mass, bone density, and joint stability are also an integral part of a healthy life. The most important point here is that, just like a treatment program, each individual should follow an exercise program appropriate to their age, physical capacity, and current health status. Ensuring that all segments of society adopt safe and sustainable exercise habits tailored to their own anatomical structure is of great importance for both the protection of public health and the maintenance of individual independence in the long term. On the occasion of this meaningful day, I invite everyone to listen to their bodies, to take action without delay to maintain their functional independence, and to make conscious physical activity an indispensable part of their lives.”
