East Midlands Clinical Senate Physical activity and Exercise Medicine (2014)

This report by the East Midlands Clinical Senate provides background information, a case for change and recommendations to encourage more people to be more active more of the time. The focus of the report is physical activity and the benefits to be obtained through its use in prevention of ill health, in risk reduction and as an active treatment.

Physical inactivity poses a serious and growing threat to our society – it is a pan-societal issue damaging our health, economy and environment. Levels of physical activity are declining and we need to act.
