Chapter 27 describes many of the risk factors that predispose individuals to developing cardiovascular and/or metabolic disease. Collectively referred to as cardiometabolic disorders, research has shown that proper nutritional and exercise strategies are effective in helping to control or even reverse many of these conditions. Chapter 28 covers a variety of medical conditions for which it has been shown that properly supervised exercise can provide a therapeutic benefit. Exercising at altitude, underwater, and in a polluted environment are covered in Chapter 29. Each of these environmental challenges poses specific physiological changes that must be understood in order for you to safely program exercise for clients. The latest practical guidelines are presented so that clients can maximize their enjoyment when they exercise in these conditions.
