Exercise is Medicine™ 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."
The text is designed to help clinicians learn how to motivate and educate patients on how to incorporate regular exercise into their daily lives. The central focus is on how to help patients become motivated and stay that way. It covers how to design practical exercise programs for otherwise healthy patients of all ages and fitness levels, as well as those with special conditions such as pregnancy, obesity, and cancer. The book also includes in-depth discussions of both the lifestyle approach to exercising regularly and the structured exercise approach.
To help you save time when addressing exercising with your patients, there is an organized set of "Three-Minute Drills" and similar materials under other headings that appear throughout the book. They cover the theory and practice of promoting regular exercise with your patients, in small, easy-to-digest bites.
Join the national initiative Exercise is Medicine™ and learn how to help your patients become regular exercisers for life. |
