ABSTRACT:

Background

Most adults are not achieving recommended levels of physical activity (150 minutes/week, moderate-to-vigorous intensity).

This may be due, in part, to the lack of feasible and effective physical activity intervention programs designed to coordinate with clinical care delivery.
