Özet
Hippocrates wrote in 1931 that “eating alone will not keep a man well; he must also take exercise.” Since then, the impact of these two concepts on healthy life has never changed. Exercise is a very powerful tool, even medicine, in reducing harmful effects of chronic diseases and mortality rates, as well as in treating and preventing chronic diseases. There is a linear relationship between activity level and health status. People who lead an active and fit lifestyle live longer and healthier. In contrast, physical inactivity has a mind-boggling array of detrimental effects on health. Sedentary people are affected by the chronic disease early and die at a younger age as they do not adapt exercise/sports to their lives. This relationship between illness and a sedentary lifestyle affects all age groups, albeit in varying degrees: children, adults, and the elderly. Current studies show that people with active lifestyles are much healthier. It would not be wrong to say that inactivity, a problem that can be solved by movement, is the biggest public health problem in this era. In this section, the description, types, and prescription of the exercise that should be done regularly both in illness and health will be explained.
