| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST U6T4qR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine whether written advice from general practitioners increases physical activity among sedentary people more than verbal advice alone. Methods. Sedentary patients (n=456) received verbal advice on increasing physical activity and were then randomized to an exercise prescription (green prescription) group or a verbal advice group. Results. The number of people engaging in any recreational physical activity at 6 weeks increased substantially, but significantly more so in the green prescription group. Also, more participants on the green prescription group increased then activity over the period. Conclusions. A written goal-oriental exercice prescription, in addition to verbal advice, is a useful tool for general practitioners in motivating their patients to increase physical activity. |
