ISPAH is a membership-based society, which invites membership from all individuals with an interest in physical activity and health, including academics, practitioners and policymakers. Each individual member of the Society receives a range of benefits including access to the an exclusive members areas of ISPAH website, full access to publications in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, priority booking onto ISPAH courses, exclusive webinars, and discounted registration at the biennial ISPAH Congress.
