The scientific evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of exercise is indisputable, and the benefits of exercise far outweigh the risks in most adults. For most adults, an exercise program including aerobic, resistance, flexibility, and neuromotor exercise training is indispensable to improve and maintain physical fitness and health. An exercise training program ideally is designed to meet individual health and physical fitness goals within the context of individual health status, function, and the respective physical and social environment.[1].
Training involves an organized sequence of exercises that stimulates improvements, or adaptations, in anatomy and physiology. These adaptations require adherence to carefully designed training programs with attention focused on factors such as frequency, intensity, type of training, time or duration (FITT) and rest intervals.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag.Sub Heading 3 ==
