AB Therapeutic  exercise  encompasses  basic  physiology  and  physiologic  sciences  as  well  as  exercise  science.  This  chapter  briefly  outlines  the  use  of  physical  activity,  muscular  contraction,  and  physical  exertion  in  order  to  prevent,  treat,  and  rehabilitate  physical  conditions  as  well  as  improve  performance  or  fitness.  Exercise  can  be  used  to  increase  or  improve  strength,  endurance,  aerobic  capacity  and  conditioning,  flexibility,  body  mechanics,  and  proprioception,  and  can  help  a  patient  progress  toward  functional  movements  and  activities.  Although  the  chapter  summarizes  essential  knowledge,  readers  are  encouraged  to  explore  additional  sources  for  more  comprehensive  details.
