CrossFit Journal Article of the Week
Exercise is Medicine: Imprecision and Impracticality
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
“Milk: It does a body good.”
These popular sayings portray certain activities as having the ability to improve health. Most people accord a notion of truth to the adages, but would anyone suggest a farmer or retailer could be held out as an exemplar of a health or medical profession?
Probably not.
Yet this is exactly what the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is trying to do with Exercise Is Medicine (EIM)—a media campaign, a proposed physician-based physical activity prescription and referral system, and a revenue-generating set of credentials offered by the ACSM.
It should be clear that fitness trainers are not prescribing medicine. Only medical professionals are qualified to diagnose and treat injuries and diseases. (Colleen Baz)
EIM is a multi-organizational global initiative first launched in 2007 by the ACSM. As described by its other founding partner, The Coca-Cola Co., EIM is designed to promote physical activity and make it a “‘vital sign’ that is routinely assessed at every patient interaction with a health care provider. EIM provides materials and training to help health professionals motivate patients and the public-at-large to get moving and improve their health.”
The logic of EIM seems sound: Get physicians to perform fitness screenings and physical-activity behavior assessments as part of every patient visit, then motivate the patient to become physically active for a health benefit.
