Prescribing physical activity for the purpose of preventing and treating various conditions can now become a reality for healthcare professionals all over the world...And the results of "many years" of "prescribing physical activity"?
In Sweden, healthcare professionals have been prescribing physical activity for many years. Physical activity on prescription is used in all healthcare districts in Sweden. Interest is growing in other countries in working with the method.

The book is also used in research and as a textbook in courses for doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and other healthcare workers.
