Exercise? So You Don?t Miss Work!

Reference:Workout for work. Journal of Occupational and Enviromental Medicine 2001; 43 (12): 1019-1025

One of the primary goals of Physical Therapy is to educate people on the importance and benefits of fitness and exercise.

A study was conducted to see if a correlation exists between exercise frequency and days of missed work

Study Conclusion: Those who exercised at least 20 minutes, once/week had significantly less missed workdays than those who didn?t exercise

Study Conclusion #2: Those who exercised at least 20 minutes, twice/week even had less missed workdays than those who only exercised once/week

Clinical Relevance: Share the results of this study with your future patients; it may motivate them to exercise?who knows, maybe this study has even motivated you to exercise regularly. After all, you should practice what you preach!
