Physical activity (PA) is a key component of healthy lifestyle and disease prevention. In contrast, physical inactivity accounts for a significant proportion of premature deaths worldwide. Physicians are in a critical position to help patients develop healthy lifestyles by actively counseling on PA. Sports medicine physicians, with their focus on sports and exercise medicine are uniquely trained to provide such expertise to patients, learners and colleagues. To succeed, physicians need clinical tools and processes that support PA assessment and counseling. Linking patients to community resources, and specifically to health and fitness professionals is a key strategy. Efforts should be made to expand provider education during medical school, residency and fellowship training, and continuing medical education. Lastly, physically active physicians are more likely to counsel patients to be active. A key message for the sports medicine community is the importance of serving as a positive PA role model.
身体活动（PA）是健康生活方式和疾病预防的关键组成部分。相比之下，身体活动不足导致了全球大量过早死亡。医生在通过积极指导身体活动帮助患者养成健康生活方式方面处于关键地位。运动医学医生专注于运动和锻炼医学，他们经过专门培训，可以为患者、学员和同事提供这种专业知识。为了取得成功，医生需要临床工具和流程来支持 PA 评估和咨询。将患者与社区资源联系起来，特别是与健康和健身专业人员联系起来，是一项关键策略。应努力在医学院、住院医师和研究员培训以及继续医学教育期间扩大提供者教育。最后，积极运动的医生更有可能建议患者保持活跃。运动医学界的一个重要信息是作为积极身体活动榜样的重要性。
