There is growing research evidence that exercise can be as important as and even more effective than many drugs for patients with chronic health problems. Most people know what physical fitness training is all about, but very few know what clinical exercise is all about.

Clinical exercise refers to safe and effective post-rehabilitative fitness programs for clients with various limitations, who are recovering from a variety of injuries, treatments and diseases like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, pregnancy, cancer etc.

Principles of strength, speed, endurance, power, coordination, work capacity and aerobic training are applied to achieve highly specific results. In this scenario, the progressive exercise program is designed to restore normal function through principles of auto-mobilization and auto-stabilization. The program is tailored on individual client's medical history and health-risk profile assessment.

For instance, a person with a hip replacement is advised not to flex his joint past 90 degrees. A person with multiple sclerosis is asked to avoid getting overheated and rest as much as possible between exercising sets. And a person with diabetes is told to monitor blood glucose levels every 30 minutes during exercise. Hence it is necessary that before you begin the clinical exercise regimen, you should be clinically managed, clinically stable, and have full medical clearance from your doctor. If you haven’t done it, and you happen to suffer from osteoporosis, you would end up with osteoporotic fractures.

After designing a clinical exercise program, the client is oriented to various pieces of aerobic and strength training equipment. The program is supervised and updated by clinical exercise specialist. A progress report is sent periodically to client's physician.

Clinical exercise program takes people to another fitness level - to an active daily life through appropriate physical activity that is fun, regardless of an individual's physical condition. It helps people improve their heart rate, ECG rhythm, blood pressure and glucose before, during and after exercise.

The clinical exercise program is offered through an agreement between the fitness centre and medical healthcare unit giving post-medical treatment to people.
