Exercise as medicine – evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in 26 different chronic diseases
TL;DR: This review provides the reader with the up‐to‐date evidence‐based basis for prescribing exercise as medicine in the treatment of 26 different diseases: psychiatric diseases (depression, anxiety, stress, schizophrenia).
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet, Muscle Glycogen and Physical Performance
TL;DR: It has been shown that the glycogen content and, consequently, the long-term work capacity can be appreciably varied by instituting different diets after glycogen depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in chronic disease.
TL;DR: The evidence for prescribing exercise therapy in the treatment of metabolic syndrome‐related disorders (insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity), heart and pulmonary diseases, muscle, bone and joint diseases, and cancer, depression, asthma and type 1 diabetes is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximal perfusion of skeletal muscle in man.
Per Andersen,Bengt Saltin +1 more
TL;DR: The magnitude of perfusion observed during intense exercise indicates that the vascular bed of skeletal muscle is not a limiting factor for oxygen transport, and muscle blood flow is closely related to the oxygen demand of the exercising muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological Analysis of Middle-Aged and Old Former Athletes Comparison with Still Active Athletes of the Same Ages
Bengt Saltin,Gunnar Grimby +1 more
TL;DR: Blood lipids, red cell volume, heart volume, dynamic spirometry, electrocardiograms made at rest and during exercise, and maximal oxygen uptake were determined in 29 former athletes 45 to 70 years old that had been very successful competitors in endurance events before the age of 30.
