(1) Types of exercise: Endurance exercise, relaxation exercises, medical gymnastics, equipment exercises, etc., which type should be specified or both. In accordance with the requirements of the disease, to prevent patients from feeling monotonous and boring.

(2) Exercise intensity, time and frequency: The most important of exercise therapy is the amount of exercise, including three factors: intensity, duration and frequency. The above three factors can be adjusted to each other. If the intensity is too large, the time and frequency are appropriately reduced.

The method of controlling exercise intensity varies according to different diseases. Generally, moderate intensity is used when treating organ diseases. However, the most suitable exercise intensity should be determined through exercise tests. The heart rate during exercise, the amount of oxygen during exercise and the maximum oxygen represent. For another type of disease, such as bone and joint dysfunction, it is generally appropriate to have a local soreness and no pain after each exercise. It is advisable for the paralyzed part caused by the nervous system not to have obvious muscle fatigue after carrying out activities.

The duration of exercise is generally 15-30 minutes, and endurance exercise is 15-60 minutes. The length of exercise time should also consider exercise intensity. If the exercise intensity is large, the exercise duration can be appropriately reduced.

Frequency is the interval of exercise, usually once or every other day, but for people with nervous system or bone and joint dysfunction, in addition to exercise once a day, you should also increase self-exercise time. In addition, the interval should not exceed 4 days. Because the exercise interval is too long, the exercise effect will disappear, affecting the treatment effect.

After a certain period of exercise, according to the improvement of physical function, the original prescription can be appropriately modified, or a new exercise prescription can be formulated to obtain better results.
