The aim of this study is to evaluate a one year intervention with physical activity on prescription (PAP) treatment for patients in a primary health care center setting versus an enhanced PAP-support with physiotherapist regarding physical activity (PA) level, metabolic health effects and health-related quality of life. One hundred ninety patients, 27-85 years, physically inactive, having at least one component of the metabolic syndrome and not responding with increased PA level after a 6-months PAP-treatment in primary health care centre are randomized to either enhanced support by physiotherapist (Intervention group) or continued ordinary PAP-treatment at the health care centre (Control group).
