Men's health week

The focus of this year's Men's Health Week is to get men active.

Physical activity can improve all aspects of health, from relieving stress and anxiety to losing weight, reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes, and improving sexual performance. If it came in the form of a pill, we would all be asking for it.

The Government hopes to get two million more people active by 2012.

Sport England wants to get one million adults taking part in more sport by 2012/13.

Men's Health Week 2010 hopes to harness interest in the World Cup to get the nation more active and more healthy.
