Obesity Medicine 2026 - Evidence-Based Physical Activity Prescriptions That Work (Recorded)
Physical activity is a cornerstone of obesity and chronic disease management, yet it is often underutilized in clinical practice. This evidence-driven session equips obesity medicine clinicians with practical tools to confidently assess readiness, ensure safety, and prescribe individualized physical activity using national guidelines. Participants will review the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and examine the evidence supporting exercise for adults, older adults, and individuals living with obesity or chronic conditions. Through real-world clinical cases and functional assessment strategies, attendees will learn how to translate guidelines into personalized, sustainable prescriptions that integrate aerobic, resistance, and functional training principles. By the end of the session, clinicians will be prepared to move beyond general advice and implement structured, safe, and effective physical activity prescriptions as a routine component of obesity care.
