Current evidence supports the use of resistance training as an
independent method to prevent, treat, and potentially reverse the
impact of numerous chronic diseases. With physical inactivity one
of the top risk factors for global mortality, a variety of
worldwide initiatives have been launched, and resistance training
is promoted by numerous organizations including the World Health
Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Despite this, most books do not provide a detailed focus on
resistance training. An up-to-date and comprehensive resource,
Resistance Training for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic
Disease is an evidence-based guide that presents an in-depth
analysis of the independent and positive effects that can result
from resistance training. Written by some of the world's leading
exercise physiologists and resistance training researchers and
experts, the chapters provide detailed descriptions of the benefits
of resistance training for specific clinical populations. They also
include guidelines on how to construct a tailored resistance
training prescription for each population when appropriate. The
book covers resistance training for effective prevention or
treatment of numerous diseases including cardiovascular disease,
cancer, type 2 diabetes, renal failure, multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson's disease, fibromyalgia, stroke, depression and anxiety,
pulmonary disease, HIV/AIDS, and orthopedic disease. The authors
also address resistance training for older adults and for children
and adolescents.
