AB The  following  section  contains  information  about  prescribing  exercise  for  clients  with  specific  medical  conditions.  Each  chapter  includes  information  about  the  pathophysiology  of  the  condition  and  how  the  condition  results  in  an  endurance  impairment  or  limits  the  clients'  physical  activities.  The  chapter  then  provides  key  information  for  examining  the  clients  and  how  to  take  baseline  measurements  of  fitness  levels.  An  outline  of  recommended  exercise  parameters  and  specific  information  for  how  exercise  should  progress  for  these  clients  completes  each  chapter.  This  information  assumes  the  reader  has  some  background  in  assessing  fitness  levels  and  has  some  experience  in  prescribing  appropriate  exercise  parameters.  Finally,  a  short  list  of  references  demonstrates  the  best  evidence  for  exercise  prescriptions  for  that  particular  condition  and  provides  readily  available  resources  of  in-depth  information  about  these  exercise  prescriptions.  References  listed  represent  only  a  small  portion  of  the  available  literature;  we  attempted  to  condense  and  summarize  the  best  evidence  for  each  condition.
