Exercise on prescription in general practice: a systematic review
J.B. Sorensen, T. Skovgaard, L. PuggaardScandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care2006Vol. 24pp. 69-74
This review assessed the feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of exercise on prescription (EoP) in general practice. The authors concluded that most studies reported favourable results for EoP when compared with controls, but that evidence was lacking in several areas. Given the concerns about poor review methodology and the inadequate reporting of data, these findings should be treated with caution.
