Factors contributing to the effectiveness of physical activity counselling in primary care: A realist systematic review. Issue 4 (April 2015) - Gagliardi, Anna R.
Highlights Physical activity (PA) counselling in primary care is not consistently practiced. A realist systematic review was conducted to identify optimal design features. Ten studies were eligible but provided limited detail so further research is needed. Single counselling sessions exploring motivation increased PA. Multiple sessions may sustain increased PA beyond 12 months.
