Abstract :Increasing the physical activity levels of all individuals in society and developing effective interventions for the prevention of diseases are public health priority. Physical Activity Counseling (PAC), one of these applications, can be defined as providing verbal and written advice or guidance to encourage increased physical activity and can be applied face-to-face or with technology-based methods. PAC, one of the preventive health services, is recommended by many public health organizations, including the World Health Organization. The aim of this review is to research the literature about the role and applications of PAC in preventive health and to provide current evidence-based information to clinicians and academics working in this field.
