Abstract:
It is well demonstrated that physical activity can improve the control of diseases such as diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Introduction of regular and frequent physical activity is also part of the useful measures in the management of excess weight. It is therefore surprising that the prescription of physical activity for the treatment of these diseases is still not part of the curriculum of medical studies, and that reimbursement remains very scarce. This article summarizes the state of scientific knowledge in the field and outlines their clinical application.

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...
