Fitness Studies

A great study for review is the article written by Patrick Pearce in 2008 for the ACSM. The article is a great introduction to exercise and its importance. It discusses cardiovascular disease (CVD), risk factors for CVD, exercise, nutrition, and more. Its discussion as to why medical doctors tend to prescribe medicine over exercise is quite revelaling. Although the article is well written, please note the section about training the core. Can you figure out what is wrong with this section? Do the recommendations really train the core?
