The BewegtVersorgt project involved co-producing a physical activity referral scheme (PARS) for inactive persons with underlying non-communicable diseases. Various relevant actors of the German healthcare system (e.g., representatives of physicians, health insurance providers, sports organizations, exercise representatives of exercise professions, representatives of patients) participated in the co-production process. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of co-produced PARS in the Erlangen-Nuremberg-Fürth region. Local general practitioners and exercise professionals will carry out the implementation of the PARS in standard care. The cluster-randomized study includes two intervention arms; one group will receive specific support from physical activity experts to increase physical activity (PARS). The control group will receive only the physician's advice and then continue to engage in physical activity on their own (PAA). The participants will be followed up at 12 and 24 weeks.
