Exercise Prescription

Meaning

An Exercise Prescription is a formalized, individualized plan for physical activity, designed and recommended by a healthcare professional to address a patient’s specific health goals or chronic medical conditions. Unlike general fitness advice, this prescription details the precise frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT principle) of exercise necessary to achieve a measurable physiological or clinical outcome. In hormonal health, it is often utilized to improve insulin sensitivity, manage weight, and support bone density.
