title: Physical activity prescriptions in healthy populations: resources for Canadian nurse practitioners.
abstract: Canadian nurse practitioners' use of physical activity prescriptions is examined. Nurse practitioners use unstructured counseling techniques; have more opportunities with older adults; experience barriers; and want more education. Barriers are lack of time, lack of knowledge, and patient disinterest. Canadian resources are suggested to support physical activity prescriptions.
