- The 'Move More' study is designed to develop a social-prescribing intervention that aims to increase physical activity among inactive Danes, addressing a significant public health issue in Denmark.
- The intervention links general practitioners to community sports clubs to promote physical activity, recognizing the complexity and various stakeholders involved in such programs.
- The study follows the Medical Research Council Framework for developing complex interventions and will lead to a prototype manual and recommendations for implementing the social-prescribing approach in Denmark.
