Description

The purpose of the paper presented is to introduce a new approach, that adherence to exercise can have potentially far reaching implications towards an active life-style. What this paper would like to propose in relation to exercise is described as follows: In the present study, the important issues relating to prescribing an adherence to exercise regimes are: 1.exercise can improve psychological state, 2.bouts of exercise can be relatively shortened, 3.levels of intensity can be safely set by the individual. Within health promotion, important key words are utilized, such as advocate, enable and mediate. Health promotion empowers individuals to accomplish a higher level of health, at the same time future levels are enhanced, and improved health becomes easier through these ongoing actions. Also, these key words are important factors in the prescription of exercise methods. What is needed is to announce that moderately intense exercise enables a positive health benefit, without pain so often associated with vigorous exercise! Introducing an easier exercise program, an inactive person is helped to enhance their 'quality of life'. Regular exercise enables an enhanced and more independent, (self-help) life style. Therefore, physical education teachers, fitness and health professionals alike should advocate stipulating the benefits of 'low impact less intensive' exercise programs. Accomplishing an adherence to regular exercise is generally difficult, usually because people desire exercise plans to be defined, and not variable as previously mentioned.
