|a Analogous to the way in which a medication is ordered, it is thought that a formal PA prescription might increase the likelihood of PA adoption by insufficiently active patients with minimal health human resource and cost implications to the clinic. This review was therefore undertaken to assess the evidence for the clinical effectiveness of formal PA prescriptions issued by a physician or nurse practitioner for the primary prevention of chronic illness, specifically diabetes and cardiovascular disease, in otherwise healthy adults or in those with risk factors for the aforementioned diseases

|a According to the World Health Organization (WHO), physical inactivity constitutes the fourth leading risk factor for death globally. In 2008, nearly 1/3 of the world's adults aged 15 years or older were considered insufficiently active (men: 28%, women: 34%). The reasons for this inactivity are manifold including a reduction in leisure time physical activity (PA), increases in occupational and domestic sedentary behavior, and increases in passive modes of transportation, along with the trend toward increasing urbanization and its associated environmental factors, some of which may serve to discourage PA.

|a In spite of these challenges, however, the argument for promoting PA as a population health strategy remains compelling since participation in regular PA has been reported to produce broad health benefits, including prevention or delay of chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD), which can carry a high health and cost burden to the individual and to society. Because of accessibility and population served, primary health care clinics have often been targeted as a strategic channel through which to deliver various PA interventions. These PA interventions can be wide-ranging in terms of scope, health human resource utilization, and cost. Thus, identifying PA interventions that are effective, simple to administer, with low resource and cost implications potentially offers the greatest opportunity for uptake in the primary care setting. One such candidate PA intervention is a formal PA prescription issued by a prescriber (i.e., physician or nurse practitioner).
