A survey of 2599 general practitioners was undertaken to assess personal participation, attitudes and facilities for the promotion of exercise and health. The majority of the 1049 respondents took part in two or more vigorous physical activities during an average week and believed in the importance of exercise for health and wellbeing. Most respondents accepted the importance of fitness assessments in the management of certain diseases but were unable to undertake tests, other than taking a simple history, through lack of time, equipment, staff and space.It is suggested that health authorities might do more to support the growing interest and enthusiasm for exercise promotion among general practitioners by sponsoring more postgraduate training in the physiology of exercise and practical methods of fitness testing. The provision of additional staff, equipment and facilities to support these promotion initiatives should also be encouraged.
对2599名全科医生进行了一项调查，以评估他们个人参与促进运动和健康的情况、态度以及相关设施。在1049名受访者中，大多数人在平均一周内会参加两项或更多剧烈体育活动，并且相信运动对健康和幸福的重要性。大多数受访者认可体能评估在某些疾病管理中的重要性，但由于缺乏时间、设备、人员和空间，除了简单询问病史外，无法进行其他测试。建议卫生当局通过赞助更多关于运动生理学和体能测试实用方法的研究生培训，来更多地支持全科医生中对促进运动日益增长的兴趣和热情。还应鼓励提供额外的人员、设备和设施来支持这些促进举措。
