The potential health benefits derived from sustained physical activity in older people are numerous; however, whether exercise promotion should take place in general practice is unsubstantiated. Exercise promotion should use existing research evidence of the advantages of exercise for various conditions, and target those inactive individuals who currently have no intention of changing their level of physical activity. Research has also raised methodological issues and questions about the feasibility of exercise interventions which still need to be tested in exercise trials conducted in general practice.
老年人持续进行体育活动对健康有诸多潜在益处;然而,在全科医疗中开展运动推广是否合理尚无确凿依据。运动推广应利用现有关于运动对各种健康状况有益的研究证据,并针对那些目前无意改变其身体活动水平的不活跃个体。研究还提出了方法学问题以及关于运动干预可行性的疑问,这些仍需在全科医疗中进行的运动试验中加以检验。
