Abstract

One important way that physicians can promote regular exercise by patients is to encourage employers to establish exercise facilities and programs in the workplace. Physicians can also help design such programs. Employers who offer exercise opportunities may benefit from reduced healthcare costs, absenteeism, injury rates, and turnover and improved job performance, productivity, and morale.
