Topics that will be explored include but are not limited to: general principles of exercise testing and prescription, holistic approaches to assessment and prescription, variables of exercise testing and prescription, exercise adherence, neuromuscular and skeletal conditions, metabolic conditions, respiratory conditions, cardiovascular conditions, and behavioral & psychological conditions. Regarding each of these conditions, we will explore the condition itself, the role of exercise in the disease/condition process (prevention, treatment, management), challenges these cases might pose to exercise assessment and prescription, and potential adaptations.
