Exercise is Medicine(TM) is an American College of Sports Medicine
initiative to make physical activity and exercise a standard part of a
disease prevention and treatment medical paradigm. This book will teach
practitioners how to motivate and instruct patients on the importance of
exercise and how to design practical exercise programs for patients of
all ages and fitness levels, as well as those with special conditions
such as pregnancy, obesity, and cancer. Coverage includes in-depth
discussions of both the lifestyle exercise approach to exercising
regularly and the structured exercise approach.
