Excerpt

A physically active lifestyle has so many health benefits that the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges in the UK has recently defined exercise as the “miracle cure” [1]. Unfortunately, however, most people do not meet current guidelines for physical activity. Therefore, effective interventions to facilitate physical activity behaviour can have a great impact on public health worldwide [2]. …
