Prescribing Exercise for Special Populations reviews the exercise prescription recommendations and guidelines for eight "special population" groups. The major exercise-related issues are discussed for individuals with heart disease, lung disease, peripheral vascular disease, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, AIDS, and pregnancy. Among the topics covered are medications for each of the eight medical conditions and the effect of these medications on exercise; the major exercise-related issues for each special population; and exercise prescription guidelines for each group.
