Introduction: Physical inactivity represents a public health challenge because it is associated with an increased risk of chronic disease and premature death. The prescription of physical activity (PA) by general practitioners in the context of sports clubs was used to fight against physical inactivity.
Methods: Since May 2015, the Biarritz Côte Basque Sport Santé (BSS) association has proposed a primary prevention scheme based on physical activity prescribed by a panel of voluntary general practitioners designed for inactive persons with no significant chronic diseases.
