Patients will face questions from doctors on how much exercise they do under a new scheme which aims to promote physical activity to help combat health problems.
As part of a year-long pilot, GPs and health professionals in six health board areas will encourage adults to get active, initially focusing on those with chronic ill health, long-term conditions and elderly people.
The boards taking on the pilot are Ayrshire & Arran, Borders, Grampian, Lothian, Tayside and Western Isles.
