TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationship between HRQoL and physical activity, and examined how this relationship differs across objective and subjective measures of PA, within the context of a large representative national survey from England.

TL;DR: Pavey et al. as mentioned in this paper used the terms of a commissioning contract issued by the Secretary of State for Health (SSH) to produce a series of articles for the National Archives of Ireland.

TL;DR: There remains considerable uncertainty as to the effectiveness of ERS for increasing activity, fitness or health indicators or whether they are an efficient use of resources in sedentary people without a medical diagnosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the impact of exercise referral schemes on physical activity and health outcomes and find no difference in outcomes between the two groups compared with the other two comparator groups.

TL;DR: Assessment of clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of exercise referral schemes finds that interventions enabling the development of social support networks are beneficial in promoting uptake and adherence, and indicates that the ICER for ERSs compared with usual care is around £76,000 per QALY, although the cost-Effectiveness of E RSs is subject to considerable uncertainty.
