Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone of disease prevention and treatment. There is, however, a considerable disparity between public health policy, clinical guidelines and the delivery of physical activity promotion within the National Health Service in the UK. If this is to be addressed in the battle against non-communicable diseases, it is vital that tomorrow's doctors understand the basic science and health benefits of physical activity. The aim of this study was to assess the provision of physical activity teaching content in the curricula of all medical schools in the UK. Our results, with responses from all UK medical schools, uncovered some alarming findings, showing that there is widespread omission of basic teaching elements, such as the Chief Medical Officer recommendations and guidance on physical activity. There is an urgent need for physical activity teaching to have dedicated time at medical schools, to equip tomorrow's doctors with the basic knowledge, confidence and skills to promote physical activity and follow numerous clinical guidelines that support physical activity promotion.
身体活动（PA）是疾病预防和治疗的基石。然而，在英国国民保健服务体系中，公共卫生政策、临床指南和身体活动促进的实施之间存在相当大的差距。如果要在与非传染性疾病的斗争中解决这个问题，至关重要的是，未来的医生要了解身体活动的基础科学和健康益处。本研究旨在评估英国所有医学院校课程中身体活动教学内容的提供情况。我们的研究结果涵盖了所有英国医学院校的回复，结果显示出令人震惊的发现，即广泛存在基本教学内容的缺失，例如首席医疗官对身体活动的建议和指导。迫切需要在医学院校安排专门的身体活动教学时间，使未来的医生具备促进身体活动的基本知识、信心和技能，并遵循众多支持身体活动促进的临床指南。
