Abstract

Study question Do trials of physical activity promotion based in primary care show sustained effects on physical activity or fitness in sedentary adults, and are exercise referral interventions more effective than other interventions?Summary answer Trials of physical activity promotion based in primary care show positive effects on physical activity levels, but not on fitness, over at least 12 months; however, not enough evidence exists to indicate whether exercise referral is more effective than other primary care interventions.What is known and what this paper adds Physical activity promotion in primary care, including exercise referral, is reported to improve physical activity levels in the short term but its longer term effect was unclear. Our review found that promotion of physical activity to sedentary adults identified through primary care significantly improves self reported physical activity levels over at least 12 months; we found few trials of exercise referral interventions with 12 months’ follow-up and more trials are needed to determine their relative effectiveness.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 December 2012.
All research outputs
#18,805,293
of 23,305,591 outputs
Outputs from British Journal of Sports Medicine
#5,762
of 6,213 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#219,531
of 281,850 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Journal of Sports Medicine
#76
of 78 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,305,591 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,213 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 64.1. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 281,850 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 78 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
