Exercise Prescription

This article is a stub.
Physical inactivity is a primary cause of most chronic diseases[1], including musculoskeletal diseases. The components of an exercise prescription may be divided into Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type (i.e. modality - cardiovascular training, resistance exercises, weight training, calisthenics). This is known as the FITT approach.
For example
- Frequency: five times a week
- Intensity: Moderate
- Time: At least 30 minutes
- Type: Brisk walking, cardiovascular training
V for volume and P for progression may be added (FITT-VP). An additional component, enjoyment, may need to be considered.[2]
