Physical activity is essential to health and should be exercised in accordance with one's functional and health state. Among the most advanced forms of programmed physical activity is medically programmed active leisure (MPAL). The implementation of MPAL in practice relies on research and on scientifically based concepts and attitudes which control the selection of persons for and their inclusion in MPAL. In Croatia MPAL is a form of specific care for worker's health, which is conducted in compliance with the health care and health insurance acts.
