Authors' objectives:
To assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of exercise referral schemes (ERSs) compared with usual care.
Authors' recommendations:
Exercise referral schemes result in a small improvement in the number of people who increase their levels of physical activity. The cost-effectiveness analysis indicates that the ICER for ERSs compared with usual care is around £76,000 per QALY, although the cost-effectiveness of ERSs is subject to considerable uncertainty.
