Exercise as medicine

Vast amounts of evidence continues to emerge regarding the role physical activity and exercise play in the management of chronic disease, and you only have to look as far as an exercise physiologist and their clients to appreciate the magnitude of this effect. From this research, an idea has been brought forward to consider exercise as a form of medical prescription or also known as the 'green prescription.' This prescription turns the focus to change health behaviours associated with chronic disease. There are however arguments both for and against the concept of a green prescription.

Firstly the arguments for. Evidence is continually being presented regarding the positive role exercise plays in decreasing all cause mortality especially in patients with chronic disease. For example, patients with diabetes experience improved glycaemic control when dietary modification and an increase in physical activity are observed. Not only does physical activity help improve one's condition, but other health benefits such as improved functional capacity and ease of activities of daily living are benefits of the green prescription. From these adaptations, independance is enhanced with an added psychological benefit as patients may not have to heavily rely upon traditional medical prescription as they did previously.

However, considering physical activity and exercise as medicine could be problematic. For we must ask ourselves: "When do we take medicine?" The answer is when we are sick. This could present a problem as the preception could arise in some populations that exercise is only of use when we are already presented with a medical condition which can be managed through exercise. Therefore, even though the idea of a 'green prescription' is becoming increasingly valid, one must not forget the role exercise plays in not only management but prevention of such conditions. The bottom line here is, no matter what state of health one is currently in, physical activity and exercise in conjunction with a healthy diet can lead to improved health outcomes. Thus, one's state of health should not influence participation and we should be active all the time!

Exercise in Summer

With the temperatures and humidity rising, we know that summer is on its way; and while it makes excellent weather for trips to the beach, it makes it harder for us to exercise safely. However, there are a few things you can do to avoid injuring yourself. Firstly, it is important that you do not jump right in and exercise during the hottest part of the day. Acclimatising is easy and only takes approximately 2 weeks to accomplish. Your body is built to survive and adapt, so exercising for 20-30 minutes a day at a moderate intensity in the shade outside, keeping 2-3 rest days between workouts will be an adequate catalyst for your body to begin adapting to the summer temperatures. After about 2 weeks, you will be able to increase the duration, intensity and frequency of your sessions.

If, at any time, you begin to feel ill, dizzy or not quite right, have a rest and some fluids. Remember to keep your exercise sessions to slightly cooler times of the day and to drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise. During your session, resist gulping your fluids, and instead sip. If you are participating in a prolonged workout (60 or more minutes), it is probably a better idea to have a sports drink to keep you hydrated. This is because your sweat is made up of electrolytes and water. In order to be able to perform well you need to replenish your electrolytes (found in sports drinks) which are depleted when you sweat excessively.

Lastly, as the weather does begin to heat up, remember to be aware of the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. While heat exhaustion is rarely life-threatening, it can lead to serious illness if left untreated. Symptoms can include headaches, nausea, muscle cramps, dizziness, light-headedness and a rapid pulse. Be aware of your body and stop activity if you experience any of these symptoms. Find somewhere cool and shady to sit or lie down. If possible, sip cool fluids.

Heat stroke is a serious condition that occurs if heat exhaustion is ignored. Symptoms can include disorientation, throbbing headache, unconsciousness, elevated body temperature, nausea, vomiting, strong, rapid pulse and red, hot, dry skin; however, there may be other manifestations depending on the individual. You should seek medical assistance and get the victim to a cool, shady area. You should begin to cool them by any means available (e.g. hose, shower, wet towels, fanning) and monitor their body temperature, if possible. If the victim is unconscious, ensure their airway is clear; and if they are vomiting or nauseous, do not give them fluids.

Weight Training and Muscle Damage

If you are unaccustomed to exercise, or you increase the intensity you are training at, and you participate in a weights workout, the next few days will be marked by pain, stiffness and weakness in the muscle groups you have exercised. After a few days rest, the pain and tenderness will disappear. The next week, when you undertake another weights session at the same intensity, you will not feel as sore as you did the previous week. Why does this happen?

While it won’t make it easier to get out of bed the next morning, understanding why this is happening will help you to continue with your fitness goals. After a high-intensity workout that you are unaccustomed to, you will feel pain and tenderness in your muscles before of the damage you have done to them; however, there is no cause for alarm. In fact, you may have heard it explained as delayed-onset muscle soreness or DOMS. You have stimulated your muscles to grow bigger and stronger by producing micro-damage (micro-tears) in them.

The micro-tears in your muscle attract fluid which creates the swelling you may experience, and also the tenderness. Biochemical changes are also thought to contribute to the pain you feel by increasing neural sensitivity. The reason the pain is felt in the days following the workout is due to the inflammation and swelling causing continued damage to the muscle. This altered state of function lasts 2-5 days, with an increased resistance to damage protecting you from reoccurrences. So, this pain you feel will not occur the next time you participate in a training session, provided you do not let months pass between sessions.

An easy way to avoid the pain associated with muscle damage is to gradually increase your workload and ensure adequate rest periods between exercise sessions. While you may not be able to avoid the pain after your first session, the ones that follow will not be as bad.

As for some advice to help relieve the pain? Ensure you are able to rest for the few days after the workout and not be discouraged. The pain you feel is transient and will be as bad the next time round. Unfortunately, massage does not appear to impact on the speed of recovery, but it can decrease pain sensation. This is the same with light stretching or exercise – it can reduce the sensation of pain, but it only lasts for a little while. Cold water immersion has been said to aid in recovery, but not studies have produced substantial results. Vitamin supplementation has not produced any conclusive results either.
