Exercise as a means of prevention and rehabilitation of chronic diseases
The aim of the "Exercise as a means of pr
evention and rehabilitation of chronic diseases" - PREVENT E-Learning training course is to educate healthcare and exercise professionals about the many benefits of physical activity for health. There are three modules that focus on: i) exercise for the prevention of non-communicable diseases, ii) exercise for the prevention and treatment of obesity, and iii) exercise for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
There is a wealth of evidence demonstrating the many benefits of physical activity for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases including obesity and cardiovascular disease. However, a large proportion of the population across Europe do not achieve the recommended amount of physical activity to benefit health. The PREVENT E-Learning materials have been developed by members of the PREVENT project consortium across five countries (Greece, England, Cyprus, Spain and Bulgaria). The E-Learning materials were designed to increase healthcare and exercise professionals’ knowledge around the benefits of exercise for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases and as a result promote exercise to their patients and clients.
