Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to discuss the role of Clinical Exercise Specialist(CEP) based on integrative medicine. It has been more concerned with the complementary approach focused on conventional medicine for disease treatment and health promotion. The approach of complementary medicine has used various techniques; changes in lifestyle and behavior patterns, stress management, meditation, exercise, nutrition, music, art and so on. CEP played the role of providing fitness test, prescribed exercise, and exercise instruction for patients with various diagnosiss, such as: hypertension, diabete mellitus, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, pulmonary disease, cancer, depression, musculoskeletal injuries, neuropathy and so on. CEP must not only possess the knowledge of exercise science but medical aspects as well. They should be aware of the effects and risks due to exercise. Although people know the importance of exercise, it is very troublesome to find services concerned with providing the appropriate and necessary exercises needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle for specific patients. Therefore, CEP must provide the necessary information about effects and therapy of the exercise based on the scientific and medical evidences. Also, we must do our best for them to manage their diseases and to control their health with the appropriate prescribed exercises. CEP plays an important role within the field of integrative medicine. So, I think we as a group believe that the CEP has a powerful sense of belongings in that we must ensure the patients can treat their diseases and manage he
alth promotion through our services.
