Abstract:
Background: Physical inactivity affects every system in the body and is associated with many chronic diseases. This impacts on the lives of individuals and has substantial social and economic implications. A large proportion of the UK population is insufficiently active and system-wide approaches to promoting physical activity are required. There are over 55,000 physiotherapists in the United Kingdom, yet little is known about physical activity promotion in this domain of healthcare.
