Introduction[edit | edit source]
The World Health Organisation developed the Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for Health with the overall aim of providing national and regional level policy makers with guidance on the dose-response relationship between the frequency, duration, intensity, type and total amount of physical activity needed for the prevention of Non Communicable Diseases. [1]
Development of Scientific Guidelines[edit | edit source]
Translating Scientific Guidelines to Practice Guidelines[edit | edit source]
Role of Physiotherapy in Promoting Guidelines[edit | edit source]
Physiotherapists have always had a close relationship with exercise, the profession was founded on the work of remedial gymnasts and the profession has a rich history of prescribing rehabilitative exercise. The global physical inactivity crisis, and the epidemic of life-style related diseases (non-communicable diseases) has created an urgent need to build on our rich history of prescribing exercise and develop our approaches for prescribing physical activity. Creating a more active population requires joined up thinking and action from many stakeholders; physiotherapists need to be active in engaging with individuals and communities.
Spinal Cord Injury Exercise Guidelines[edit | edit source]
Who Do They Apply To[edit | edit source]
Men and Women aged 18 - 64 with a Chronic Traumatic or Non-Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury > 12 Months Post Onset, with a Neurological Level C3 or Lower including tetraplegia and paraplegia, irrespective of race, ethnicity or socio-economic status, who are not active above and beyond daily activities. [8]
While there is currently insufficient scientific evidence to draw firm conclusions about the risks and benefits of these guidelines for individuals with a Spinal Cord Injury < 12 months post-onset, aged 65 years or older, and those with co-morbid conditions, they may be appropriate following consultation with a health care provider prior to beginning an exercise program. [8]
What Settings Do They Apply To[edit | edit source]
The Guidelines are meant to be applicable to exercise performed in a range of settings including but not limited to rehabilitation settings, fitness centers, and individuals own homes. [8]
Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Muscle Strength[edit | edit source]
Cardiometabolic Health[edit | edit source]
Cardiometabolic disease, which includes a spectrum of conditions from insulin resistance, progressing to the metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, and finally to more severe conditions including Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes, currently poses a serious health and economic burden worldwide, with prevalence predicted to increase. Independent risk factors include prolonged sitting, lack of physical activity, poor diet, and short sleep duration, which have all become common place worldwide. [9]Resources[edit | edit source]
