On 7 April 2026 a video conference meeting chaired by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, was held on the further development of physical education and sport, the promotion of mass sport and the improvement of the system for selecting and training athletes.
Particular attention was paid to raising the physical activity of the population, developing sports infrastructure in mahallas and educational institutions, and introducing a systematic approach to strengthening public health.
It was stressed that the effectiveness of mass sport should be judged not only by the number of participants but by real changes in the health of the population. The meeting also provided for the development of a volunteer movement promoting physical activity and the principles of healthy living.
These priorities are of particular importance for the work of the National Healthy Lifestyle and Fitness Association of Uzbekistan, which is devoted to building a culture of healthy living, increasing physical activity and promoting mass sport.
