Fogleman, MD, FAAFP |  |  |  |  |\n| Editor in Chief |  |  |  |  |\n| In July, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to emphasize fitness in U.S. schools.1 He and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. have suggested we bring back the Presidential Fitness Test. This program was originally created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s, and in fact, this continued emphasis on physical education should be lauded, as multicomponent goaldirected interventions to increase exercise likely improve participation and lead to positive, measurable long-term health outcomes.2\u003Cbr>To be clear, our leaders should extend their vision to support adequate and quality nutrition interventions as well, rather than, for example, reducing SNAPfunded free and reduced-price lunches. Yet, few would argue that continued emphasis on physical education is negative. We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic with well-known adverse implications, and the prohibitive costs and risks associated with weight-loss medications reassure us that lifestyle interventions are still necessary, even vital.\u003Cbr>At the same time, advice regarding diet alone to improve health is not sufficient. A literature review reveals that an emphasis by physicians to improve fruit and vegetable consumption has only marginal effect on actual intake and probably no meaningful impact on overall health.3\u003Cbr>How valuable is exercise? Let’s set aside the obvious benefit that a physically active lifestyle can have on almost every chronic orthopedic and rheumatologic disorder. Cardiac rehabilitation is recommended for almost every patient who has had a cardiac event or intervention.4 In addition, exercise improves atrial fibrillation recurrence, symptom burden and severity, as well as the mental components of quality of life.5\u003Cbr>In people with pulmonary hypertension, exercise programs increase exercise capacity, pulmonary arterial pressure, and quality of life.6 Exercise prescriptions for older individuals can reduce the rate of falls and the number of people who fall.7 Exercise improves walking distance and pain in people living with claudication.8 It significantly improves sugar control, visceral adipose | tissue, and plasma triglycerides in people with type 2 diabetes, even if they do not lose weight.9 Pulmonary rehabilitation results in meaningful improvements in functional exercise capacity and quality of life in adults with asthma and improves exercise capacity and quality of life in people with COPD. 10,11\u003Cbr>In the realm of mental health and neurology, study results indicate that exercise has positive short-term effects on self-esteem in children and mental health scores among pediatric patients with anxiety and depression. 12,13 In addition, exercise is moderately more effective than control for reducing symptoms of depression in adults.14 Physical exercise improves functional capacity and reduces pain scores in all comers with chronic pain, and improves many parameters of health in cancer survivors, including fatigue and depression.15-17\u003Cbr>Study results further indicate that regular exercise programs have positive effects on both the physical and mental health of individuals with schizophrenia.18 Additionally, physical activity likely has beneficial effects on the severity of motor signs as well as quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s disease, although, as in most studies, it is not clear what, if any, is the best type of exercise to achieve these benefits.19\u003Cbr>Exercise, performed for about 45 to 60 minutes each time, three times per week or more, regardless of intensity, may also provide a clinically significant reduction in menstrual pain intensity,20 and it helps avert bone loss in postmenopausal women.21 Further, exercise reduces the risks of developing gestational diabetes ","cbCaiiYvsgbQcgkm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiYvsgbQcgkm","pdf",235052,"English","# From the Editor’s Desk\n## Exercise and health outcomes across conditions\n## Exercise prescription and patient engagement","[{\"question\":\"Why does the editorial emphasize physical education and exercise in schools?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that renewed focus on physical education should be lauded because increased exercise through lifestyle interventions can improve participation and lead to positive, measurable long-term health outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the editorial view nutrition interventions compared with exercise advice?\",\"answer\":\"It states leaders should also support adequate nutrition interventions, but it notes that diet-only advice may have only marginal effects on fruit and vegetable intake and may not meaningfully change overall health.\"},{\"question\":\"What health benefits does the editorial associate with regular exercise?\",\"answer\":\"It links exercise to improvements in outcomes for cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, reduces risks such as falls and metabolic problems, supports mental health, aids people with chronic pain and cancer survivorship, and may help with pregnancy-related risks.\"}]","The Magic PoTion - sTaying in MoTion | PDF",1791268244]
