Each and every month I will review a recent article or publication which contains particularly fascinating information for the health care professional or educated health care consumer.
Exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle.
The scientific literature is documenting that therapeutic exercise can be beneficial for low back pain, neck pain, high blood pressure, weight loss, and depression. One example is the use of the Gym Ball exercise ball exercises as part of spinal stabilization routines. Exercise has the potential to improve the quality of our life. The articles that I will review cover the most important developments in exercise science, exercise physiology, clinical biomechanics, fitness training, aerobic exercise, and strength and endurance exercise. This month's article highlights the important role that evaluation plays in customizing an exercise program to meet individual needs.
