EUROPREV guide on promoting health through physical activity

Abstract

This booklet was developed by EUROPREV - the European Network for Prevention and Health Promotion in Family Medicine / General Practice. EUROPREV is the official network for preventive activities within WONCA- Europe, the European regional branch of WONCA - the World Organization of Family Doctors. This guide is aimed at practicing general practitioners/family physicians, who need a simple, short and practical guide for counselling physical activity to their patients. EUROPREV's objective was to cover most of the questions and dilemmas patients have while considering a health behaviour change. We hope that this booklet will help general practitioners/family physicians to be more efficient in helping their patients change health related behaviour.
