AB There  are  numerous  sources  from  which  to  obtain  information  on  training  for  endurance  in  athletes  and  healthy  young  people  and  for  individuals  with  coronary  heart  disease.  Information  or  emphasis  on  endurance  training  and  the  improvement  of  fitness  in  the  individual  who  has  other  types  of  chronic  disease  or  disability  is  beginning  to  emerge.  Using  the  most  recent  research,  the  American  College  of  Sports  Medicine  (ACSM)  published  basic  guidelines  for  several  of  the  more  common  chronic  conditions.1,2,3  This  chapter  uses  information  from  well-known  sources  to  demonstrate  that  the  physical  therapist  can  use  aerobic-type  activity  when  working  with  either  healthy  individuals  or  patients  with  a  variety  of  conditions.  In  addition,  some  fundamental  information  about  cardiovascular  and  respiratory  parameters  in  children  and  the  elderly,  as  well  as  the  young  or  middle-aged  adult,  is  presented  so  the  physical  therapist  can  be  prepared  to  treat  individuals  of  all  ages.
