Primary Care Physical Activity Referrals to the Community
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of primary care referrals to community
physical activity programs for overweight and obese youth aged 6-18 years on objectively
measured physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as other cardiovascular
health indicators. We hypothesize that physical activity referrals will result in higher
levels of physical activity and fitness.
