PHC nurses were prepared to advise patients about the health benefits of PA and used different strategies to encourage the adherence of participants to the program. In addition, social and cultural support activities were included in this intervention program. These activities were performed once a month and they included: visits to museums and libraries, cultural exhibitions, tourist attractions and dance lessons.
