Exercise prescription is the practice of creating individualized exercise programs that are tailored to a person’s health conditions, rehabilitation needs, or fitness goals. This involves considering the patient's current level of fitness, any medical conditions or injuries, and their specific functional goals. Exercise prescription is used to help improve strength, mobility, endurance, and overall health.
The prescribed exercises may include aerobic training, strength training, flexibility exercises, or balance training, depending on the individual's needs. Exercise prescription is commonly used in rehabilitation programs for individuals recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or obesity.
Personalized exercise programs promote recovery, enhance overall fitness, and contribute to long-term health by addressing specific needs and promoting overall wellness.
