New Aerobic Activity Recommendations
New recommendations for physical activity appeared in a story in today's Indianapolis Star. Here is what was published:
"Updated national recommendations for physical activity say all healthy adults ages 18 to 65 should get moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 30 minutes five days a week or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 20 minutes three days weekly."
Some medical groups are also recommending strength training for at least two, nonconsecutive days per week.
I hope that RT professors and practitioners are paying attention to such recommendations so that clients will be told of the need for physical activity and that RT physical activity programs are provided. Of course, to provide physical activity programs RTs need to be trained to lead such programs.
