Unreferenced date September 2008 Exercise is Medicine is a nonprofit initiative launched by the American College of Sports Medicine ACSM and the American Medical Association AMA . Overview The initiative calls for physical activity and exercise to be standard parts of disease prevention and medical treatment, urging healthcare providers to assess and review patients physical activity programs at every visit, with office visits that conclude exercise clearance and a prescription or referral to a qualified health fitness professional. In addition, patients are encouraged to begin a conversation with their doctor about physical activity, and to learn how to best continue or improve upon their exercise regimens. Exercise is crucial to the prevention, management, and treatment of numerous chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes , heart disease , obesity , high blood pressure and other medical problems. Although exercise clearly benefits the appearance of the body, the Exercise is Medicine program focuses more on the internal benefits of physical activity and how these benefits contribute to the longevity and quality of life. The Exercise is Medicine program was launched on Nov. 5, 2007, in Washington, D.C. In addition to leaders from ACSM and AMA, Rear Admiral Stephen K.
