Problem-oriented Exercise Management
Aerobic Exercise Tests
Summarization

In summary, the exercise person working with the persons with a chronic disease or disability must be able to employ techniques from each of the seven families of exercise tests. In the past, much of the emphasis has been on aerobic exercise testing, largely because of the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and the popularity of aerobic exercise. However, many exercise professionals have long used measures of strength, flexibility, neuromuscular skills, and functional performance. Research has shown over the last several decades that exercise in chronic ill patients and those with disabilities, increases self esteem, better quality of life and longevity, even more so for those that would most likely remain sediment for similar reasons of those without these illnesses. I have specialized training in working with chronically ill and disabled people wanting to engage in diet and exercise. In addition, since I am a registered nurse and fitness practitioner I can work with your primary care physician and/or family doctor(s) to establish an open line of communication on progress. For more information, call my office or start by filling out the fitness survey and we can contact you to setup a consultation.
