Abstract

Despite participACTION's preaching about the need to stay physically active, only a small percentage of Canadians exercise regularly at the level recommended for fitness. Nicole Baer discusses the issue with physicians and experts in the field, and also looks at American efforts to introduce Physician-based Assessment and Counselling for Exercise.
