Canadians are gaining awareness of the health
benefits of physical activity. Behaviour change must
follow awareness, however, if patients are to
counter the health risks associated with sedentary
living.
Physicians are continually challenged to identify
effective and practical strategies to encourage
ongoing participation in physically active pursuits—
particularly when sedentary choices for recreation
and leisure options are so popular.
To help family physicians facilitate positive changes
in physical activity levels, this module will explore
the factors that influence physical activity
participation, and will provide a set of practical tools
for interacting with children and parents.
