Description: Despite the well-established benefits of physical activity (PA) a large proportion of people in developed countries still lead sedentary lifestyles.1 Community-based interventions can improve PA levels of sedentary individuals, but improvements are inconsistently sustained.2–4 Primary care may play an important role in facilitating sustained regular PA through direct intervention or via referral to other programmes as many people routinely access primary care.
