Physical inactivity has been recognised as one of the common
modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases such as heart
disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.
Increased level of physical activity is very effective for health
maintenance. In this book, experts from all over the world present
evidence for therapeutic physical activities illustrated by
different cases. Physical activity can serve as both a preventive
measure and a rehabilitation tool. The contents of this book cover
the benefits of physical activity from young children with cerebral
palsy to older adults with Parkinson's disease. Some chapters focus
on specific illness, such as asthma; others study more popular
problems like lower back pain. Furthermore, fall risks increase
with age. It is a growing problem among the elders, their family,
the community, the governments, and the world at large. There is a
chapter in this book discussing this issue specifically.
Individuals with one of the impairments touched upon in this book,
as well as their families, doctors and other health workers can
benefit from its contents. The topics of this book include kidney
disease, coronary or peripheral artery disease, asthma, vestibular
impairments, obstructive sleep apnea, cancer, lower back pain,
Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, risk of falls,
autism spectrum disorder, and cerebral palsy. Students and
researchers can use this book as reference when they investigate
the effects of physical activity as a preventive measure or
therapeutic modality for other populations.
