We compared the amount of exercise undertaken by medical students, clinicians, and sport scientists with the National Australian Physical Activity (NAPA) Guidelines. A second aim was to compare attitudes to exercise counselling as preventive medicine between university- and clinic-based professionals. The research setting was a university medical school and a sports science sports medicine centre. A 20-item questionnaire was completed by 216 individuals (131 medical students, 43 clinicians and 37 sports scientists). Self-reported physical activity habits, exercise counselling practices and attitudes towards preventive medicine were assessed. The physical activity undertaken by most respondents (70%) met NAPA Guidelines. General practitioners had significantly lower compliance rates with NAPA Guidelines than other professionals. More than half of clinicians and medical students (54%) were less active now compared with levels of activity undertaken prior to graduate training. Most physicians (68%) reported they sometimes discuss physical activity with patients. In contrast, the majority of non-medically qualified respondents (60%) said they never discuss physical activity with their doctor. Most respondents (70%) had positive attitudes to exercise counselling. Sports scientists and respondents who were highly active in childhood had more positive attitudes to exercise counselling than others. Health professionals in this study were more active than the general population, however healthy exercise habits tend to deteriorate after the commencement of medical training. Despite the important role of doctors in health promotion, the degree of exercise counselling to patients is low. Key pointsThe rate of exercise counselling by doctors to patients is lowSports physicians and scientists have substantially more positive attitudes to exercise counselling than clinicians and medical studentsMedical schools have a responsibility to promote physical activity of students and improve training in exercise counselling.
我们比较了医学生、临床医生和运动科学家的运动量与澳大利亚国家体育活动指南（NAPA）的比较。第二个目的是比较大学和临床专业人员对运动咨询作为预防医学的态度。研究地点是一所大学医学院和一个运动科学运动医学中心。216 人（131 名医学生、43 名临床医生和 37 名运动科学家）完成了一份 20 项的问卷。评估了自我报告的体育活动习惯、运动咨询实践以及对预防医学的态度。大多数受访者（70%）的体育活动符合 NAPA 指南。全科医生遵守 NAPA 指南的比例明显低于其他专业人员。超过一半的临床医生和医学生（54%）现在的活动水平低于研究生培训前的水平。大多数医生（68%）报告说他们有时会与患者讨论体育活动。相比之下，大多数非医学合格的受访者（60%）表示他们从不与医生讨论体育活动。大多数受访者（70%）对运动咨询持积极态度。运动科学家和在童年时期高度活跃的受访者比其他人对运动咨询的态度更积极。与一般人群相比，本研究中的卫生专业人员更活跃，但健康的运动习惯往往在医学培训开始后恶化。尽管医生在促进健康方面发挥着重要作用，但向患者提供运动咨询的程度较低。要点
医生向患者提供运动咨询的比率较低
运动医师和科学家对运动咨询的态度比临床医生和医学生更积极
医学院有责任促进学生的体育活动，并提高运动咨询方面的培训。
