The Gothenburg physical activity on prescription (PAP) intervention produced sustained increases in physical activity of approximately 730 MET-min/week with about 50% adherence at 5 years.
Practitioners can implement PAP to effectively increase physical activity in patients with metabolic risk.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
PAP consistently produced clinically relevant and sustained increases in PA, with long-term gains of ∼730 MET-min/week and ∼50 % adherence at 5 years.
Why this rating
The claim is based on a comprehensive review of multiple study designs.
