Exercise and activity in the promotion of health.
Current trends indicate increases in the numbers of Americans participating in exercise and conditioning programs. These numbers are coupled with simultaneous interest by practitioners and researchers in the potential benefits associated with exercise as well as with activity participation to restore or promote general health. This annotated bibliography includes a number of revlews as well as efficacy studies exploring the potential benefits of exercise, particularly aerobic exercise, on physical and mental health. These references are provided as a resource for therapists to become aware of the present status of exercise-related research as well as the nature of exercise and activity programs being developed and explored in practice today.
