Exercise and Sports Medicine Issues in Underserved Populations

Vincent Morelli et al. Prim Care. 2017 Mar.

Abstract

Primary care providers can make a strong argument for exercise promotion in underserved communities. The benefits are vitally important in adolescent physical, cognitive, and psychological development as well as in adult disease prevention and treatment. In counseling such patients, we should take into account a patient's readiness for change and the barriers to exercise.

Keywords: Exercise; Socioeconomic status; Sports medicine; Underserved.
