Putting exercise science to practice.
We physicians recommend exercise to our patients all the time, but do we really know how best to define it, measure it, and prescribe it? This month we're launching a new four-part series to answer those questions. The series, "The Science of Exercise Physiology," coordinated by editorial board member Howard G. (Skip) Knuttgen, PhD, demonstrates how to apply the building blocks of sports science toward everyday clinical practice.
