      risk factor for the prevention and management of chronic disease: a position

AB  - Non-communicable disease is a leading threat to global health. Physical 
      inactivity is a large contributor to this problem; in fact, the WHO ranks it as 
      the fourth leading risk factor for overall morbidity and mortality worldwide. In 
      Canada, at least 4 of 5 adults do not meet the Canadian Physical Activity 
      Guidelines of 150 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week. 
      Physicians play an important role in the dissemination of physical activity (PA) 
      recommendations to a broad segment of the population, as over 80% of Canadians 
      visit their doctors every year and prefer to get health information directly from 
      them. Unfortunately, most physicians do not regularly assess or prescribe PA as 
      part of routine care, and even when discussed, few provide specific 
      recommendations. PA prescription has the potential to be an important therapeutic 
      agent for all ages in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of chronic 
      disease. Sport and exercise medicine (SEM) physicians are particularly well 
      suited for this role and should collaborate with their primary care colleagues 
      for optimal patient care. The purpose of this Canadian Academy and Sport and 
      Exercise Medicine position statement is to provide an evidence-based, best 
      practices summary to better equip SEM and primary care physicians to prescribe PA 
      and exercise, specifically for the prevention and management of non-communicable 
      disease. This will be achieved by addressing common questions and perceived 
      barriers in the field.Author note This position statement has been endorsed by 
      the following nine sport medicine societies: Australasian College of Sports and 
      Exercise Physicians (ACSEP), American Medical Society for Sports Medicine 
      (AMSSM), British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine (BASEM), European 
      College of Sport & Exercise Physicians (ECOSEP), Norsk forening for 
      idrettsmedisin og fysisk aktivite (NIMF), South African Sports Medicine

      of Exercise and Sports Medicine (SFAIM), and CASEM.
