**5. Conclusions**

The study provides a comprehensive overview and assessment of the efforts undertaken to promote PA at the national level in Poland. The results confirm that the national PA policy approach has been constantly developing in Poland and currently includes multiple sectors and covers major population groups, although there is still room for improvement in most fields. While the need for improvement is recognized in most countries [24,60], lack of clear leadership and coordination of policies in Poland is almost an impassable barrier in increasing effectiveness of PA promotion in Poland. The findings from this study may help policymakers and practitioners design and plan actions to increase PA levels among the whole of society.
