Physiological and Biomechanical Benefits of Resistance Exercise for Joint Disease examines theimpact of resistance exercise on individuals who have joint-related disease. From a physiologicaland biomechanical perspective, the DVD reviews how resistance exercise affects several types ofjoint disease, including low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, and knee arthritis. Featuring threewell-respected health/fitness professionals the DVD provides over two hours of information,ideas, and insights on a critical topic.
