The role of exercise in reducing coronary heart disease and associated risk factors.

Despite public health efforts, heart disease remains a leading cause of death and disease in the United States. There is sufficient evidence to justify the inclusion of regular exercise in efforts to reduce overall coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity and mortality. This paper reviews the supportive evidence for this stance as well as the role of exercise in managing the major CHD risk factors of atherogenic serum lipids, hypertension, and obesity. Recognition of exercise as a lifestyle behavior is addressed and recommendations for prescribing exercise for adults interested in preventing CHD are presented.
