It is now a year since the Digitalization Plan for the Sports Sector (Resolution of 4 July 2022 of the Presidency of the Supreme Council for Sports) was set in motion. A plan which, among other objectives, proposes establishing a common strategy for the prescription of physical exercise and activity. Although we should congratulate ourselves, this plan is not something new in Spain, given that a number of autonomous communities have had physical exercise prescription (PEP) programmes in place for many years now, whereby medical personnel prescribe physical exercise based on standardised guidelines. These prescriptions are a primary therapeutic tool and form part of the healthcare strategies for patients suffering from a chronic disease.
