Abstract：
Primary care physicians (PCPs) should be active and reliable promoters of physical activity (PA), but there is no strong evidence that their knowledge and personal habits contribute to this. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of PA recommendations provided by PCPs to patients in terms of their self-assessed PA knowledge and personal habits. This study used a cross-sectional design and data were collected through a self-reported online questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 202 PCPs from a large Lithuanian city, Kaunas, of which 122 were females (60.4%) and 80 were males (39.6%). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 29 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for Windows. The findings show that the frequency of recommendations related to providing PA to patients is statistically significantly dependent on PCP health-friendly or partially favorable PA habits, their self-assessed level of knowledge about physical activity, and their self-assessed competence related to providing PA recommendations to patients, but this is not statistically dependent on objectively assessed level of knowledge related to PA.
摘要：
初级保健医生（PCP）应该是身体活动（PA）的积极和可靠的推动者，但是没有强有力的证据表明他们的知识和个人习惯促成了这一点。这项研究的目的是根据患者的自我评估PA知识和个人习惯，评估PCP向患者提供PA建议的频率。本研究采用横断面设计，数据通过自我报告的在线问卷收集。研究样本由来自立陶宛一个大城市的202个PCP组成，考纳斯,其中女性122人(60.4%),男性80人(39.6%)。使用Windows的SPSS版本29（社会科学统计软件包）分析数据。研究结果表明，与向患者提供PA相关的建议频率在统计学上显着取决于PCP健康友好或部分有利的PA习惯，他们自我评估的关于身体活动的知识水平，以及他们自我评估的能力，与向患者提供PA建议有关，但这在统计学上不依赖于与PA相关的客观知识评估水平。
