Unreferenced date September 2008 Exercise is Medicine is a nonprofit initiative launched by the American College of Sports Medicine ACSM and the American Medical Association AMA . Overview The initiative calls for physical activity and exercise to be standard parts of disease prevention and medical treatment, urging healthcare providers to assess and review patients physical activity programs at every visit, with office visits that conclude exercise clearance and a prescription or referral to a qualified health fitness professional. In addition, patients are encouraged to begin a conversation with their doctor about physical activity, and to learn how to best continue or improve upon their exercise regimens. Exercise is crucial to the prevention, management, and treatment of numerous chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes , heart disease , obesity , high blood pressure and other medical problems. Although exercise clearly benefits the appearance of the body, the Exercise is Medicine program focuses more on the internal benefits of physical activity and how these benefits contribute to the longevity and quality of life. The Exercise is Medicine program was launched on Nov. 5, 2007, in Washington, D.C. In addition to leaders from ACSM and AMA, Rear Admiral Stephen K.

One method of performing it, called back extension involves using a roman chair to hold the feet down and hips up. It can also be performed without equipment, in the bird dog exercise, in a prone position with arms forward. This version involves lifting one arm and the opposing leg at the same time, then releasing. These strengthen the lower back and are ideal to be used after deadlifts for complete exhaustion of the lower back muscles.

Exercise hypertension is an excessive rise in blood pressure during exercise. Many of those with exercise hypertension have spikes in systolic pressure to 250 mmHg or greater. A rise in systolic blood pressure to over 200 mmHg when exercising at 100 W is pathological, and a rise in pressure over 220 mmHg needs to be controlled by the appropriate drugs. ref name klaus cite journal first D. last Klaus year 1989 month February title Management of Hypertension in Actively Exercising Patients Implications for Drug Selection journal Drugs volume 37 issue 2 pages 212 8 pmid 2649357 ref Similarly, in healthy individuals the response of the diastolic pressure to dynamic exercise e.g. walking, running of moderate intensity is to remain constant or to fall slightly due to the improved blood flow , but in some individuals a rise of 10 mmHg or greater is found. Recent work at Johns Hopkins involving a group of athletes aged 55 to 75 with mild hypertension has found a correlation of those with exercise hypertension to a reduced ability of the major blood vessels to change in size in response to increased blood flow probably due to impaired function of the endothelial cells in the vessel walls .

Narrow, shoulder width dips primarily train the triceps , with major synergist s being the anterior deltoid , the Pectoralis major muscle pectoralis muscles Human sternum sternal , clavicular, and minor , and the rhomboid muscles of the back in that order . Wide arm training places additional emphasis on the pectoral muscles , similar in respect to the way a wide grip bench press would focus more on the pectorals and less on the triceps. Classic meaning In past decades, the term floor dip was used in place of what is now called a press up or push up . Modern meaning To perform a dip, the exerciser hangs from a dip bar or from a set of Rings gymnastics rings with his arms straight and shoulders over his hands, then lowers his body until his arms are bent to a 90 degree angle, and then lifts his body up, returning to the starting position. Short people are able to cope better with a narrower grip, but not with a wider one. Tall people have greater ease in this exercise overall as their reach to chest size ratio is greater. Due to natural flexibility in the shoulder joints, it is important to try to lock them as much as possible during this exercise. Otherwise, the supporting rotator cuffs may become strained. Variation Usually dips are done on a dip bar , with the exerciser s hands supporting his entire body weight. For added resistance, weights can be added by use of a dip belt , weighted vest, or by wearing a bookbag with weights in it. A dumbbell may also be held between the knees or ankles. For less resistance, an assisted dip pull up machine can be used which reduces the force necessary for the exerciser to elevate his body by use of a counterweight.
