Original Title:
[Effekter av den svenska modellen för fysisk aktivitet på recept (FaR)]
Authors' objectives:
To study if physical activity on prescription, according to the Swedish PAP-model, is better than not receiving Swedish PAP when it comes to mortality, morbidity, level of physical activity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and aerobic capacity for adults that have been deemed to be in need of increased physical activity by a healthcare professional.
Authors' results and conclusions:
This HTA report included seven RCTs, one cohort study and one case series comparing Swedish PAP in Nordic settings with usual care, group sessions, or written general information on the importance of physical activity in adult patients deemed to be in need of increased physical activity by a healthcare professional. Mortality or morbidity data were not reported. There may be little or no difference regarding HRQoL (GRADE ⊕⊕). Swedish PAP probably improves the level of physical activity and probably results in little or no difference in adverse events compared with no PAP. Moderate certainty of evidence (GRADE⊕⊕⊕
for both outcomes). There may be slight reduction in body weight and waist circumference, and there may be a little or no difference in glucose metabolism whereas walking distance (6-minute-walk-test) may be slightly improved by PAP (GRADE ⊕⊕). The effects of Swedish PAP on blood pressure and blood lipids are uncertain (GRADE ⊕). In summary, Swedish PAP probably improves the level of physical activity but the magnitude of this improvement is poorly defined.
