Introduction: Health promotion and disease prevention have been increasingly recognized as activities within the scope of emergency medicine. Exercise prescription by physicians has been shown to improve outcomes in obesity, cardiovascular disease, and many other diseases. An estimated 600,000 Canadians receive the majority of their care from emergency departments (ED), representing a substantial opportunity for health promotion. Our study examined the frequency of exercise prescription by emergency physicians (EPs) and determined factors that influence decisions to prescribe exercise. Methods: A national, confidential 22-item survey was distributed to Canadian EPs via email by the CAEP survey distribution protocol in November/December 2015. Demographics, exercise prescription rates and self-reported exercise habits were collected. Results: A total of 332 EPs responded. 92.4% of EPs reported being at least moderately active. 62.7% of EPs often or always council their patients about preventative medicine (smoking cessation, drug and alcohol use, diet and safe sex). However, only 23.8% often or always ask about their exercise habits. Even fewer (12.7%) often or always prescribe exercise. Training background significantly predicted level of comfort prescribing exercise. CCFP trained EPs were 5.1 (p = 0.001) times more likely than trained EPs to respond 'yes' they feel comfortable prescribing exercise, and 3.7 (p = .009) times more likely to respond 'sometimes'. CCFP (EM) trained EPs were 3.5 (p < 0.001) times more likely than trained EPs to respond 'yes' they feel comfortable prescribing exercise, and 2.0 (p = .031) times more likely to respond 'sometimes'. 76.1% of respondents believe that other EPs rarely or never prescribe exercise. Of respondents, only 36% feel comfortable prescribing exercise. The majority of EPs (73.4%) believe that the ED environment did not allow adequate time for exercise prescription. Conclusion: The majority of EPs council their patients regarding other forms of preventative medicine but few prescribe exercise to their patients. Available time in the ED was cited as a significant barrier to exercise prescription. CCFP trained EPs are more comfortable prescribing exercise, suggesting that their training may better educate and prepare them to council patients on exercise compared to trained EPs. Further education may be required to standardize an approach to prescribing exercise in the ED.

Background: Current recommendations for sport-related concussion uniformly emphasize the importance of physical activity. However, specifics of this recommendation remain vague and do not account for an exercise dosage or compliance. Purposes: First, we examined if an 8-week individualized sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise prescription, initiated within the first two weeks of concussion, alleviates symptom severity or affects the amount of exercise performed during the study. Second, we examined whether prescription adherence, rather than randomized group assignment, reflects the actual impact of aerobic exercise in post-concussion recovery. Methods: For this single-site prospective randomized clinical trial, participants completed an aerobic exercise test within 14 days of injury, and were randomized to an individualized aerobic exercise program or standard-of-care, and returned for assessments 1 month and 2 months after the initial visit (Table 1). The aerobic exercise group was instructed to exercise 5 days/week, 20 minutes/day, at a target heart rate based on an exercise test at the initial visit. Participants reported their symptom exercise volume each week over the 8-week study period, and reported symptoms at each study visit (initial, 1 month, 2 month). Results: Initial symptom severity was not different between randomized groups (Figure 1A), and no significant differences in symptom severity were found at the 4-week (Figure 1B) or 8-week (Figure 1C) assessment. In addition, there was no significant differences between groups for average weekly exercise volume during the first four weeks (Figure 2A) or second four weeks (Figure 2B) of the study. During the first four weeks of the study, 65% (n=11/17) of the exercise intervention participants were compliant with their exercise recommendation (≥100 min/week), compared to 45% (n=9/20) of the standard-of-care group (p=0.33). During the second four weeks of the study, 71% (n=12/17) of the exercise prescription group exercised ≥100 min/week, compared to 55% (n=11/20) of the standard-of-care group (p=0.50). When grouped by exercise volume, the group who exercised ≥100 minutes/week during the first month of the study reported significantly lower symptom severity scores than those who exercised <100 minutes/week (Figure 3B), despite similar initial symptom severity scores (Figure 3A). Conclusion: Participant randomization within 14 days of concussion did not lead to a significant reduction in symptoms, or greater exercise volume. Given that greater exercise volume was associated with lower symptoms after one month of the study, researchers and clinicians should pay particular attention to adherence to aerobic exercise programs for the treatment of concussion.
