Abstract: Doctors play a crucial role in educating patients about physical activity (PA) and exercise, but they often lack confidence and face various barriers in prescribing PA and exercise. Referring patients to qualified exercise professionals is an effective way to promote PA and exercise to more patients. Our goal is to provide practical advice on establishing and maintaining a successful referral program from doctors to exercise professionals. It is important to identify key factors that can contribute to improving doctors’ referrals to exercise professionals.
