health,\u201d the Congress will explore how global evidence and collaboration can translate into meaningful, context-specific solutions that advance equity and access to safe and enjoyable physical activity everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions on how to advance contextually-relevant and impact-oriented physical activity and public health research, and ultimately, bridge the gap between research and real-world action, to ensure that everyone- regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, or geography- can benefit from environments that support active, healthy living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a

ISPAH, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the ISPAH Congress 2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2026 will mark a significant milestone for the society \u2013 20 years since the first ISPAH Congress held in Atlanta, in the United States. Over the past two decades, our global community has made remarkable progress in advancing the physical activity and public health through research, policy, practice and advocacy. Yet challenges remain, and one of those challenges is the persistent inequities in physical activity participation, and the need for inclusive, culturally grounded approaches that truly serve all communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing inequity is at the heart of ISPAH and we are especially proud to reaffirm this commitment and to host this milestone congress in M\u00e9xico, with the theme \u2018Going Global for Local Impact: Towards a Comprehensive Equity Approach to Physical Activity and Health\u2019. As the largest global platform for physical activity, the ISPAH Congress 2026 will bring together the world\u2019s leading physical activity researchers, practitioners, policymakers and advocates, while celebrating the important contributions to our field from Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ISPAH Congress 2026 will also include a social program that will offer opportunities to connect, be active, and experience the local culture. M\u00e9rida offers incredible opportunities for cycling, walking and running &#8211; Parque La Plancha is a highlight &#8211; and is known for its cuisine, with Mayan, Spanish and Caribbean influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We look forward to seeing you in M\u00e9rida for the ISPAH Congress 2026 to exchange knowledge, connect with old and new colleagues and friends, and to experience everything the city has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--borderline);border-left-width:3px;padding-left:10px\"><strong>A\/Prof. Sjaan Gomersall<\/strong><br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">President | International Society for Physical Activity and Health<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide cols-stack-md is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-d3cfe2f4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-fc0ea954 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"welcome-from-the-national-institute-of-public-health-of-mexico-and-the-university-of-texas-at-austin-7\">Welcome from the National Institute of Public Health of M\u00e9xico and The University of Texas at Austin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As local co-hosts for the ISPAH Congress 2026, the National Institute of Public Health of M\u00e9xico (INSP) and The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) are pleased to invite you to join us in the vibrant city of M\u00e9rida, Yucat\u00e1n, M\u00e9xico, from October 5\u20138, 2026, at the Yucat\u00e1n International Congress Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INSP is one of the leading public health research institutions in Latin America and maintains active collaborations with UT Austin\u2019s Center for Research to Community Impact in the areas of physical activity, public health research, and capacity building. M\u00e9xico and Texas share over 2,000 kilometres of border and deep historical and cultural ties, with 40% of Texas\u2019s population identifying as Latino or Hispanic\u2014making collaboration between our regions both natural and vital in addressing the global challenge of physical inactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are proud to bring the ISPAH Congress back to Latin America for the first time since Rio in 2014\u2014and to host it in a Spanish-speaking country for the first time. This milestone event will highlight the region\u2019s growing community of researchers and practitioners, amplify Latin American perspectives, and strengthen regional and international partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join us in M\u00e9rida for ISPAH Congress 2026, where we will advance the global movement for equitable health through physical activity. Together, we will celebrate transformative research, inspire real-world impact, and continue building a world where everyone has the opportunity to move, thrive, and reach their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We look forward to welcoming you to M\u00e9xico in 2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid
