Exercise Prescription
Exercise prescription refers to the systematic planning and application of specific exercise parameters to achieve targeted health or performance outcomes. It involves selecting appropriate types, intensities, durations, and frequencies of exercise to optimize benefits while ensuring safety and individual suitability.
Safe Practice
Safe practice in exercise prescription emphasizes implementing exercise programs that minimize the risk of injury or adverse events. This includes considerations such as pre-exercise screening, warm-up routines, cool-down procedures, and monitoring exercise intensity to tailor activities to individual health status and capabilities.
