Long-term physical activity on prescription intervention for patients with insufficient physical activity level —a randomized controlled trial

ConclusionDuring long-term PAP interventions, the PA level, metabolic health, and HRQOL increased in patients at metabolic risk without significant differences between groups. The results indicate to be independent of any changes in pharmacological treatment. We demonstrated that the PAP treatment was feasible in ordinary primary care. Both the patients and the healthcare system benefitted from the improvement in metabolic risk factors. Future studies should elucidate effective long-term PAP-treatment strategies.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.govNCT03012516. Registered on 30 December 2016 —retrospectively registered.
