Programing for busy clinicians and busy patients
Many clinicians spend much of their precious 'out of hours' time writing programmes for their patients. Surely, there is a faster and more efficient way to programme in clinic?
The number one reason cited for not completing exercise rehab is not having enough time. How do I write effective resistance training programmes that are compatible with our patients' busy lives. Central to achieving this balance is understanding the minimal effective dose for resistance training.
In this lecture, Dr Merv Travers (PhD) will cover key issues pertaining to the minimum effective dose for resistance training. And, he will outline simple hacks that will help you supercharge your exercise prescription whilst saving you and your patients time.
