Prescription of home exercise therapy for cardiovascular fitness
Abstract
The importance of regular exercise activity in health maintenance has been continually emphasized. Family physicians, as the primary health care providers to many individuals, need a protocol for exercise prescription that is both practical for the physician to administer and reasonable for the patient to understand and follow. A practical protocol applicable to individuals of varying cardiac states is presented.
