Its development has been led by Sport and Exercise Medicine Doctors from the OxSport team in Oxford, in partnership with specialists, GPs and patients across the country.
It is dedicated to spreading best practice, research and advice about physical activity to clinicians and patients to create a healthier, happier and more active nation.
The 'prescribing movement' resources have been developed in consultation with over 300 medical specialists, general practitioners, researchers and patients.
There are reviews of the literature on physical activity in specific diseases, and the resource differs from others that summarise the evidence base on physical activity, as the structure has been designed by clinicians for clinicians to use in practice.
Users are able to dig as deep as they want to into the evidence base, embedded in a time-based framework to support good quality conversations based on established behavioural change techniques and motivational interviewing theory.
