The remaining 90 minutes of weekly physical activity will be supervised by disability staff, who will be encouraged to follow an activity program set out by the university exercise specialist.
In the study by Davis et al [ 2] a high intensity of physical activity was achieved by a well chosen activity program, the use of real time heart-rate data to provide feedback on the intensity of physical activity, and the presence of a number of research assistants to instruct each class.
There is evidence that two interventions assist patients with sub-chronic (pain of 6 weeks to 3 months duration) low back pain to return to their normal activities: 1) provision of education, reassurance and encouragement to resume normal activity [ 9]; and 2) prescription of a physical activity program supervised by a therapist who guides resumption of normal activities [ 10].
Nonetheless, use of a physical activity program by 25% of a practice network's high-risk patients could yield a significant population effect on morbidity and mortality, service utilization, and patient quality of life and optimal function.
The higher hierarchical level is represented by the activity program choice model AP.
Following the intervention, participants will be provided with a physical activity program by the exercise physiologist.
Moderate effects on CVD risk profiles following a physical activity program instituted by community members and evaluated by academic researchers were documented.
