![]() ![]() In prescribing exercise for older patients, nutrition must be closely monitored. Increased lifestyle activity also should be encour aged. Incorporation of warm-up and cool-down sessions is recommended for exercisers of all ages and physical conditions. Proper technique is necessary and speed and breathing should be controlled. Resis tance training should be performed at least twice per week and should target the 7 major muscle groups. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, patients should partici pate in aerobic exercise 3 to 5 days per week, main taining target heart rate for 20 to 60 minutes. Results: Effective exercise programs specify the appropriate mode, intensity, duration, frequency, and progression of training.Methods: Case studies and qualitative review of the literature.Objective: To review the components of exercise prescription and approaches to developing an exer cise prescription for older persons. ![]() The Exercise is Medicine Initiative is being used in other parts of the world however, is has not fully taken off in many developing countries. Considering the numerous preventative and therapeutic health benefits associated with a physically active lifestyle, the effectiveness of exercise to treat various chronic diseases, the limited side effects associated with exercise in comparison to pharmaceutical therapies and the role health providers can play in the promotion of physically active lifestyles, health providers should take an active role in exercise prescription for the patient's sake. Even though being physically active for health and well-being is accepted by much of the general population, the majority of people in developed countries fail to meet even minimal requirements. The health care system should play a role in supporting patients and the population at large to increase their PA to sufficient level for prevention and control of these chronic diseases. While not all primary care PA promotion interventions were successful from the review, the majority of studies support this approach to increasing PA. Several quasi-experimental and randomized trials have been conducted evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of primary care PA promotion interventions. There is a need for PA promotion interventions in primary care and evidence that providers want to provide PA information to their patients. Physical activity(PA) and exercise are key interventions for use in primary and secondary prevention of chronic diseases and especially when physical activity and exercise are part of a medical management plan. Conclusions Recommendations provided by institutional guidelines appear to be insufficient to support adequate resistance training prescription in the context of cardiovascular disease.Įxercise is healthy, and it plays a practical and safe means to decrease the burden of non-communicable diseases. Overall, guidelines lack recommendations of specific procedures for each type of disease at different severity levels, cardiovascular risk during exercise, or criteria for training progression. Recommendations concerning other major training variables were discordant regarding workload (none or loads ranging from < 30% up to 80% 1 repetition maximum) and exercise order (none or vaguely indicating alternation of muscle groups or circuit format), or insufficient regarding intervals between sets and exercises or number and type of exercises. Consensual indications occurred only for number of sets (one to three sets) and training frequency (two to three sessions/week). Results Of 994 articles initially found, 13 position stands were retained. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched from inception until 30 April, 2018. Objective The objective of this systematic review was to analyze institutional guidelines providing recommendations for resistance training applied to cardiovascular disease. ![]() ![]() Resistance training has been included in programs for patients with cardiovascular disease. Background Institutional position stands are useful for practitioners when designing exercise routines for specific populations. ![]()
