Synthesis of the case study

This guideline was developed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in 2014. It is a partial update of the four most commonly used methods on how to increase physical activity, the NICE public health guideline 2 (2006). Its aim is to explain the factors standing behind the refferal, attendance, and a successful completion of an exercise referral scheme and long-term participation in physical activities. In addition, it makes recommendations on exercise referral schemes promoting physical activity for people aged 19+.
