Exercise is Medicine: Understanding the Evidence
Physical inactivity has an astonishing breadth of harmful health effects and the association between an inactive and unfit way of life persists in virtually every subgroup of the population. On the contrary, physical activity has a powerful effect on both the treatment and prevention of almost every chronic disease, including obesity. As the costs associated with such diseases have soared, it is clear that physical inactivity is one of the major public health problems of our time.

"If we had a pill that conferred all the benefits of exercise, we would recommend it to every patient. It is time we all started encouraging our patients to take this free medication!"

Join Dr. Robert E. Sallis, chairman for the Exercise is Medicine initiative and immediate past- president of the American College of Sports Medicine, for this lively presentation on the growing evidence supporting the health benefits of physical activity and the role of health professionals in Exercise is Medicine (EIM).
