[Physical activity in the treatment and rehabilitation of chronic diseases]
Abstract:
A suitable amount of properly conducted and performed physical activity improves the functional capacity and quality of life of persons having a chronic disease. Regular endurance exercise and muscular strength training can also alleviate central risk factors of atherosclerotic disease. Exercise-based rehabilitation reduces mortality among patients with coronary artery disease or cardiac failure. In practice, exercise counseling and guidance is included as part of disease management and lifestyle guidance. This requires knowledge, competence and time resources from the physician. In addition, a clinical pathway involving health and exercise professionals is needed to support the implementation of exercise programs.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
