Exercise is medicine: a call to action for physicians to assess and prescribe exercise
Open accessAbstract
Engaging in regular physical activity is one of the major determinants of health. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of exercise in the treatment and prevention of most every common medical problem seen today. It is clear that patients who engage in an active and fit way of life, live longer, healthier, and better lives. For these reasons, every patient should be asked about exercise at every visit using an exercise vital sign (EVS) and, when needed, provided with an exercise prescription that encourages them to get 150 minutes or more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Physicians have an obligation to assess each patients exercise habits and inform them of the risks of being sedentary. Such an approach is critical to help stem the rising tide of deaths around the world due to noncommunicable diseases, which are so closely associated with a sedentary lifestyle.

The 6-week iMAP protocols in sleep, exercise, diet, or social connection were grounded in evidence-based intervention protocols for these lifestyle domains in depression.
“Description of each 6-week iMAP in either sleep/ exercise/ diet/ social connection domain is provided in Supplementary Methods section S.5 and is grounded in evidence-based intervention protocols in these lifestyle domains in the context of depression [5, 6, 8, 11, 16, 68–70].”
From Personalized machine learning guided intervention for optimizing lifestyle behaviors in depression: a pilot study (2026) · cites this paper as [69]
The 'Exercise and health' section identifies depression among conditions for which exercise has preventive and treatment benefits, and 'The exercise prescription' gives general guidance on exercise frequency, intensity, type, and duration. The paper does not describe a six-week iMAP protocol or establish that the citing authors' specific exercise protocol was grounded in its guidance. The other lifestyle domains are not assessed against this exercise-focused citation. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
