Preventative Cardiology and Physical Activity

An Overview

  • Chapter

Abstract

Scientifically exact judgements on the importance to health of increased physical activity in the context of exercise and sports can be achieved in the following ways:

  1. a.

    Experimental studies on lack of exercise on the one hand, and on qualitatively and quantitatively differing physical training programs on the other.

  2. b.

    Clinical practical experience on exercise lack, physical training and sports.

  3. c.

    Animal experiments.

  4. d.

    Epidemiological studies.
