| Popis: | Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are highly prevalent. The benefits and risks of physical activity and evidence base for exercise prescription are not widely known by healthcare providers. Regular exercise and reducing sedentary time are essential elements of primordial and primary prevention in healthy adults. The underlying physiological mechanisms, such as physiologic cardiac hypertrophy, enhanced autonomic and vascular function, and improved circulation and mitochondrial function, are extensive. The recent scientific evidence supporting the current recommendations for the quantity and quality of exercise and evidence-informed principles of exercise prescription for improving cardiorespiratory fitness in the healthy adult are explained. All adults should receive a prescription for exercise due to its powerful effect upon health. Using evidence-based prescription principles tailored to the individual can maximize the beneficial effects of exercise in chronic disease and disability prevention. |
