Abstract

To improve health, more physicians and exercise specialists now encourage people to exercise on a regular basis. For the average person, many experts say that exercise intensity is not an issue. Just getting people off the couch is the first step towards improved health. However, for the already active patient interested in improving performance, intensity is an important consideration.
