4、ion“ , so its ironic that I spent more time in the last fortnight sitting glued to the TV than ever before. But not, perhaps, as ironic as the governments failure thus far to capitalise on the current wave of enthusiasm for sport with a strategy for promoting physical activity.A report just publishe
5、d by the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee entitled “ Sport and exercise science and medicine: building on the Olympic legacy to improve the nations health“ expresses surprise and disappointment in “ the apparent lack of joined-up thinking in government about the Olympic health legacy“
6、.“ While sport belongs to the Department of Culture Media and Sport, exercise or physical activity is seen as being within the remit(豁免 )of the Department of Health,“ says David Stalker, CEO of the Fitness Industry Association(FIA). Hugh Robertson, the minister for sport, openly declared that his in
7、terest was in increasing participation rather than improving the nations health, leading Lord Krebs, the chairman of the committee, to state: “ Government is failing to act in a consistent way to ensure that the Olympics help us tackle one of our greatest health threatssedentary lifestyles. “If you
8、are in any doubt about the magnitude of the problem, consider the findings of a study published last month in the Lancet that concluded physical inactivity was responsible for 6-10% of cases of heart disease, type 2 diabetes(糖尿病), and breast cancer globallyand 9% of premature deaths. This, the autho
9、rs suggest, makes a sedentary lifestyle as serious a threat to health and longevity as smoking.So why, given the compelling evidence of a clear dose-response relationship between physical activity and disease, have we failed to recognise and promote the role of physical activity both in the preventi
10、on and treatment of chronic disease?One possible reason, believes sports and exercise medicine consultant Dr. Richard Weiler, is the lack of emphasis on physical activity and its benefits in British medical schools, Weilers research, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine this month, fo
11、und that 44% of medical schools did not teach trainee doctors the national exercise guidelines, and that on average a paltry(微不足道的)4.2 hours was devoted to education on physical activity.“There is an urgent need for physical activity teaching to have dedicated time at medical schools, to equip tomor
12、rows doctors with the basic knowledge, confidence and skills to promote physical activity,“ says Weiler.The Lords committee identified lack of awareness and inadequate training among health professionals as a key barrier preventing the treatment of ill health by exercise, as well as a lack of confid
13、ence in exercise referral schemes.But Stalker says change is around the corner. “The Royal College of Physicians called for the development of clear standards outlining the process by which a doctor can refer a patient to an exercise programme,“ he explains. “ This work is underway, led by a joint c
14、onsultative forum between the medical profession and exercise sector and represents the first time these sectors have worked together. “Dr. Andrew Murray, the recently appointed “ physical activity champion“ for the Scottish government, says steps are already being taken in Scotland. “ Theyve really
15、 grasped the importance of this issue up here,“ he says. Murray is working closely with Scotlands chief medical officer to promote physical activity with the aims of increasing life expectancy and decreasing the incidence of chronic disease.How? A ministerial debate on obesity and physical activity
16、held in the Scottish parliament in May led to pledges from Shona Robison, minister for Commonwealth Games and sport, to maintain the physical activity budget of 3. 3m for the next three years, to make 6m available to local authorities to help them achieve the “ two hours of PE per week“ target, and
17、to increase funding for sustainable transport initiatives including walking and cycling. Meanwhile, NHS Scotland has just released a series of free online educational tools for its staff to learn how best to talk over the subject of physical activity and motivate and support people to get active.Thi
18、s was one of the recommendations made by the Lords report, along with support for appropriate training both at undergraduate level and in continuing professional development of health professionals, in prescribing exercise as a preventative measure and treatment for chronic diseases.The committee al
19、so recommended that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence(Nice)assesses the research on the use of exercise in the management of chronic diseases and, where the evidence supports it, update their guidelines to reflect these findings. This could lead to a scenario where a GP asses
20、ses a patient and decides the most appropriate treatment for their high blood pressure is physical activity rather than drugs.While it is encouraging to see a more committed attitude to physical activity from the government, Dr. Weiler stresses the importance of a coordinated approach. “ We need the
21、 same type of strategy that was used for stopping smoking,“ he says. That campaign went far beyond telling people smoking was bad for them: it also entailed supporting their efforts to stop on a practical level and using legislation to make not smoking easier than smoking.“ One of the problems is th
22、at our environment is not designed to encourage physical activity,“ says Weiler. In offices, shopping centres and other public buildings, lifts and escalators(自动扶梯)take centre stage, with dark and dirty staircases round the backout of sight and out of mind. Yet the Lancet study found that campaigns
23、using motivational signs, such as those directing people to stairs instead of lifts, were among the most successful. Exactly this type of signage has been used in London throughout the Olympicspresumably as much to ease the strain on the citys public transport system as to boost the nations healthbu
24、t all the same, Id like to see it remain.Fred Turok, the FIAs chairman, chairs the governments Responsibility Deal physical activity network, which works to encourage businesses to promote physical activity among employees emphasising the knock-on effect that a healthier workforce has on productivit
25、y and profitability. “ Its not just about gyms at the office,“ he says. “ Its about enabling employees to be more active: providing showers, prioritising stairs over lifts or promoting active commutingwalking, running or cycling to work. “Even though the government is finally acknowledging what the
26、fitness industry has been saying for decadesthat physical activity mattersits not yet clear whether the sofa-bound British public will buy into it this time around. Stalker is optimistic. “ I think the reaction we have seen to this summers Olympic Games have driven people towards the realisation tha
27、t they cannot put off getting active any longer,“ he says.Weiler agrees. “ We cant carry on doing nothing about it. The cost of doing so will far outweigh the investment required to increase physical activity levels and prevent this public health crisis. “2 What are the House of Lords Science and Te
