Description
Federica Duregon and co-authors tested a real-world model for prescribing exercise to people with long-term illness in 2025. Exercise is a proven treatment for such patients, yet health systems rarely deliver it well. Even when doctors advise activity, few patients stick with a program.
Each patient got a plan built on a full health and fitness check, plus a test of heart and lung response to exercise. Supervised sessions ran for at least six weeks. Three hundred twelve patients joined, most often with obesity or a past organ transplant. Most finished the first program with no harmful events. About half came back at six months, which shows both promise and the hard problem of keeping patients engaged.
