Our manifesto includes essential priorities for the next Government to put physical activity at the core of healthcare and communities, providing a sustainable solution to public health and the pressures facing the NHS.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The FSEM supports a recent study by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges[iv] recognising exercise as a \u201cmiracle cure\u201d, too often over looked. The report focuses on the less well-known benefits of regular physical activity and the increasing risks of a sedentary lifestyle and asks doctors to take a leading role in the fight against a sedentary lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Sport and Exercise Medicine is a relatively new and largely under-capitalised specialty in the NHS, it has a huge application across both primary and secondary care to improve public health. The cost of physical inactivity to the UK is now \u00a320 billion per year[v]; putting physical activity at the heart of our healthcare system would not only save lives, it would save the NHS substantial amounts of money.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080\">See Dr. Khan&#8217;s recent and related blog on the best &#8216;dose&#8217; of physical activity<\/span><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/2015\/03\/03\/the-body-matters-massive-open-online-course-mooc-via-mcgill-university-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow the FSEM\u2019s campaign on Twitter,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fsem_uk\" target=\"_blank\">@FSEM_UK<\/a> <strong>#HiddenHealthThreat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/#14c6b6a732aa8a71__ednref1\" name=\"14c6b6a732aa8a71__edn1\">[i]<\/a> Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow: <a href=\"http:\/\/files.rcp.sg\/filestore\/1501120337_54b3e20d5eca0\/Physical%20activity%20position%20statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> Maintaining health and treating illness through regular physical activity<\/a> January 2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/#14c6b6a732aa8a71__ednref2\" name=\"14c6b6a732aa8a71__edn2\">[ii]<\/a> University of Cambridge: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.srl.cam.ac.uk\/epic\/\" target=\"_blank\">European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study<\/a> January 2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/#14c6b6a732aa8a71__ednref3\" name=\"14c6b6a732aa8a71__edn3\">[iii]<\/a> Public Health England: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/everybody-active-every-day-a-framework-to-embed-physical-activity-into-daily-life\" target=\"_blank\"> Everybody active every day<\/a> November 2014<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/#14c6b6a732aa8a71__ednref4\" name=\"14c6b6a732aa8a71__edn4\">[iv]<\/a> Academy of Medical Royal Colleges: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aomrc.org.uk\/general-news\/exercise-the-miracle-cure.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Exercise the miracle cure<\/a> February 2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/#14c6b6a732aa8a71__ednref5\" name=\"14c6b6a732aa8a71__edn5\">[v]<\/a> All Party Commission on Physical Activity: <a href=\"http:\/\/activitycommission.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Tackling Physical Inactivity a Co-ordinated Approach<\/a> 2014<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Release \u2013\u00a0The Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine The Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (FSEM) UK is asking MPs to recognise physical inactivity as one of the largest health threats in the UK.
