Abstract

![CDATA[Physicians have been identified as important promoters of physical activity (PA) – a modifiable risk factor for a range of chronic diseases. Evidence suggests, however, that physicians may not always be equipped to provide PA counselling due to a lack of time, lack of confidence or lack of PA knowledge. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of, and preparedness for, PA counselling in a sample of first year Australian medical students.]]
