Description Special Issue "Exercise Referral and Social Prescribing for Physical Activity"

This is a Special Issue on Exercise Referral and Social Prescribing for Physical Activity in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes articles and communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. For detailed information on the journal, we refer you to https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph.

Physical inactivity is a global pandemic leading to poor health outcomes. Increasing physical activity levels are therefore a priority for public health and policy makers. For decades, health care professionals have been able to refer patients with a range of medical conditions to physical activity interventions delivered at community level. Despite the popularity of such interventions, there is a need to improve the evidence base for ‘what works best’. Research that contributes to a better understanding of delivery mechanisms and appropriate measures of success can offer a critical guide for policy efforts and planning for public health.

This Special Issue is open to quantitative and qualitative submissions in any subject area related to the design, implementation, and impact of community-based interventions that involve a referral for physical activity. The listed keywords suggest just a few of the many possibilities.
