It is now widely accepted that there are important links between
inactivity and lifestyle-related chronic diseases, and that
exercise can bring tangible therapeutic benefits to people with
long-term chronic conditions. Exercise and Chronic Disease: An
Evidence-Based Approach offers the most up-to-date survey currently
available of the scientific and clinical evidence underlying the
effects of exercise in relation to functional outcomes,
disease-specific health-related outcomes and quality of life in
patients with chronic disease conditions. Drawing on data from
randomized controlled trials and observational evidence, and
written by a team of leading international researchers and medical
and health practitioners, the book explores the evidence across a
wide range of chronic diseases, including: cancer heart disease
stroke diabetes parkinson's disease multiple sclerosis asthma. Each
chapter addresses the frequency, intensity, duration and modality
of exercise that might be employed as an intervention for each
condition and, importantly, assesses the impact of exercise
interventions in relation to outcomes that reflect tangible
benefits to patients. No other book on this subject places the
patient and the evidence directly at the heart of the study, and
therefore this book will be essential reading for all exercise
scientists, health scientists and medical professionals looking to
develop their knowledge and professional practice.
