“…Furthermore, it has been proven that physical activity reduces the risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, anxiety, depression, dementia, and many cancers [ 8 , 9 ]. Physical exercise has been deemed 'the miracle drug' owing to its numerous established advantages and the potential for many more that remain unproven [ 10 ]. The evidence supporting this claim is overwhelming and still growing.…”

Introduction Physical inactivity is a highly prevalent modifiable risk factor for many diseases, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the leading causes of death. Many health institutes have issued and adopted guidelines and recommendations on physical activity. This study aims to study the knowledge, practice, and barriers of medical students enrolled at the University of Khartoum, Sudan, regarding physical activity. It aimed to assess the students’ knowledge about physical activity, to determine the levels of physical activity and compare it with the WHO recommended levels and data from other countries, to compare the activity and sedentary levels between males and females, and to take a look on the barriers to physical activity. Methods An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Khartoum in December 2022. A total of 336 students were included using systematic random sampling. Data were collected using an online questionnaire that included the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Levels of physical activity were described and compared between males and females. Results Around 40.5% of the students achieved the recommended level of physical activity. The mean level of vigorous-intensity physical activity was 50.9 minutes/week (SD= 125.7), the mean level of moderate-intensity physical activity was 156.5 minutes/week (SD= 316.1), the mean level of total physical activity was 207 minutes/week (SD= 356). Between males and females, there was a significant mean difference in the level of vigorous-intensity physical activity and total physical activity. The mean level of sedentary behavior was 7.61 hours/day (SD= 4.62) with no significant difference between males and females (p=0.127). Students showed good knowledge about the cardiovascular and mental benefits of physical activity but not about its protective benefits against cancer. Only 19.4% knew the WHO-recommended levels of physical activity. The most common major barriers toward physical activity reported by the students were lack of time (43.8%), and lack of suitable facilities (31.3%) among others. Conclusion More than half (59.5%) of the students were insufficiently active. Levels of physical activity were significantly associated with the participants’ sex but not their knowledge of the recommended levels of physical activity. Males showed higher levels of physical activity. Lack of time was the most common barrier to exercise. More knowledge and education about physical activity should be provided as well as suitable facilities.

“…Further, would one need to have continued exposure to maintain the effects from the fountain, or would the initial exposure last indefinitely? Though exercise has been described as a miracle drug, data show that a dose-dependent relationship exists between exposure to exercise and physiologic outcomes 1–3. Despite its miracle status,1 we are much more capable of investigating the effects of exercise using different dosages than other miraculous artifacts.…”

“…Though exercise has been described as a miracle drug, data show that a dose-dependent relationship exists between exposure to exercise and physiologic outcomes 1–3. Despite its miracle status,1 we are much more capable of investigating the effects of exercise using different dosages than other miraculous artifacts. But why empirically investigate or prescribe specified doses for exercise, or for exposures for that matter?…”
