Where this comes from

Abstract

The surgeon general's report on physical activity and health, released last July, is an important step toward convincing Americans that even moderate physical activity yields major health benefits. The report's ultimate impact may depend on its influence on public policy and healthcare spending, and on whether healthcare professionals preach-and do-what it recommends.
