Write a Speech on -Important Of Exercise
Answers
Exercise stimulates tissue change and adaptation (eg, increase in muscle mass and strength, cardiovascular endurance), whereas rest and recovery allow such change and adaptation to occur (1). Recovery from exercise is as important as the exercise stimulus. Regular physical activity reduces the likelihood of medical illness, decreases the incidence of the major causes of death, and improves the overall health and quality of life for patients with most medical conditions.
By increasing muscle mass and strength and fostering cardiovascular endurance, exercise improves functional status for sports and activities of daily living and protects against injury. Specific exercise programs are also commonly prescribed to rehabilitate patients after MI, major surgery, and musculoskeletal injury. Preoperative exercise regimens are prescribed before many elective surgical procedures to enhance postoperative recovery (1). Regardless of indication, recommendations for exercise should be based on 2 main principles:
Goals for activity should be specific to the patient, accounting for motivation, needs, physical ability, and psychology, to maximize the likelihood of patient participation and desired outcome.
Activity should be prescribed in a proper dose to achieve a desired effect. An exercise stimulus should be sufficient for the body to adapt to a higher state of function, to maintain a level of function, or to slow the loss of function, but not so great that it causes injury or nonadherence. More exercise or higher-intensity activity is not always better; too little or too much activity may prevent achievement of desired outcomes.
