Exercise as it relates to Disease

Exercise in disease is a resource where implications for exercise as they relate to different chronic diseases, and their treatments are explored. The book will act as a platform in which students create "fact sheets" covering a wide range of topics as shown below. The University unit runs from August-December 2011/12.

Please note that this is a student created resource and should not be taken as medical advice!

There is teaching resource support for this book.
