Exercise training has proven to be beneficial in the prevention of disease. In addition, exercise can improve the pathogenesis and symptoms associated with a variety of chronic disease states and can attenuate drug-induced adverse effects. Exercise is a drug-free polypill. Because the benefits of exercise are clear and profound, Exercise is Medicine, a joint initiative between the American Medical Association and American College of Sports Medicine, was launched in 2007 to call on all health care providers to counsel patients and prescribe exercise in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease states. Pharmacists play an increasing role in direct patient care and are the most accessible health care providers in the community. Thus, pharmacists should be knowledgeable in counseling patients on the frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise that is appropriate for various conditions and disease states. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of didactic course offerings in United States pharmacy school curricula regarding training in exercise prescription. School websites were accessed for information regarding course offerings in PharmD programs. No United States pharmacy schools offered courses that were dedicted to the role of exercise in disease prevention or exercise prescription in disease management. Ninety percent of pharmacy schools did not offer courses with the keywords "exercise," "fitness, or "physical activity" in the title or description. The data suggest that student pharmacists are not adequately trained to counsel patients on the benefits of exercise or exercise prescription.
运动训练已被证明有益于疾病预防。此外，运动可以改善与各种慢性疾病状态相关的发病机制和症状，并减轻药物引起的不良反应。运动是一种无药物的多效药丸。由于运动的益处显而易见且深远，美国医学协会和美国运动医学学院于 2007 年发起了“运动是医学”倡议，呼吁所有医疗保健提供者在慢性病的预防和治疗中为患者提供运动咨询和运动处方。药剂师在直接患者护理方面发挥着越来越重要的作用，并且是社区中最容易接触到的医疗保健提供者。因此，药剂师应该了解针对各种情况和疾病状态的适当运动频率、强度、时间和类型对患者进行咨询的知识。本研究旨在确定美国药学院校课程中关于运动处方培训的教学课程的流行情况。访问了学校网站，以获取 PharmD 课程的课程信息。没有美国的药学院校提供专门针对运动在疾病预防或疾病管理中运动处方作用的课程。90%的药学院校的课程名称或描述中没有包含“运动”、“健身”或“体育活动”等关键词。数据表明，药剂学专业的学生在指导患者了解运动益处或开具运动处方方面的培训不足。
