“…Various means of counseling and prescribing physical activity by health care professionals are effective [51][52][53][54][55] Sorensen et al, 2007). Written prescriptions for physical activity have shown efficacy, especially when specifying form and level of activity [56], although the "evidence base" has been described as "thin" [57].…”

Physical activity is a recognized preventive health measure for seniors and an important focus for senior centers. This paper employs the Andersen Behavioral Model to explore increased physical activity and participation in three types of senior center activities: physical fitness, dance/aerobic classes, and chair exercises. Data were collected in 2006 on 798 and in 2007 on 742 participants at 21 multipurpose senior centers in a large urban county. Logistic regression analysis (PROC RLOGIST in SAS-callable SUDAAN) was employed to predict increased physical activity, with modes of center participation in physical activity as mediating factors. Predisposing and enabling factors predicted both engaging in center-based exercise programs and increases in physical activity; but the strongest predictors of increases in physical activity were needed factors: physician recommendations to increase exercise and to lose weight. Implications are that both SCs and healthcare providers are important to promote physical activity in the older population.

“…Exercises can basically be classified into three groups: aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, bicycling and swimming), resistance training (weights), and flexibility exercises (Katz, 2012). The biggest quandary in prescribing exercise is not which therapies to use but in outlining the objectives and incorporating the correct components in the compilation of the exercise program for the specific patient (Sumchai, 2013).…”

Exercise is healthy, and it plays a practical and safe means to decrease the burden of non-communicable diseases. Physical activity(PA) and exercise are key interventions for use in primary and secondary prevention of chronic diseases and especially when physical activity and exercise are part of a medical management plan. There is a need for PA promotion interventions in primary care and evidence that providers want to provide PA information to their patients. Several quasi-experimental and randomized trials have been conducted evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of primary care PA promotion interventions . While not all primary care PA promotion interventions were successful from the review, the majority of studies support this approach to increasing PA. The health care system should play a role in supporting patients and the population at large to increase their PA to sufficient level for prevention and control of these chronic diseases. Even though being physically active for health and well-being is accepted by much of the general population, the majority of people in developed countries fail to meet even minimal requirements. Considering the numerous preventative and therapeutic health benefits associated with a physically active lifestyle, the effectiveness of exercise to treat various chronic diseases, the limited side effects associated with exercise in comparison to pharmaceutical therapies and the role health providers can play in the promotion of physically active lifestyles, health providers should take an active role in exercise prescription for the patient's sake. The Exercise is Medicine Initiative is being used in other parts of the world however, is has not fully taken off in many developing countries.

Abstract: The present study has shown that providing residents with a practical tool, enabling them to deal with patients' barriers and previous failure in behavioural change, is efficacious in increasing PA levels of adult patients.
