Feeling somewhat hard and sweat slightly is the optimal results. Exercise time and frequency: the total exercise time for each episode should be managed between 30-45 minutes, including aerobatic exercise for 20-30minutes. We prepared the participants with joint stretching for 5 minutes prior the exercise and another 5 minutes after the training for recovery. 10 minutes for shadowboxing three times a week. 10-15 minutes for muscle strength exercise twice a week.
Exercise frequency: everyday, but the participants must maintain doing the exercise twice a week in the hospital and finish the rest at home or in the community under the instructions of exercise

Thank you for sending Valma Murphy back to see me some three years since I was last involved in her care, when she underwent a left total hip joint replacement.

She was treated with warfarin for around five years. Of late, Valma reports no cardiorespiratory issues, no current gastro-intestinal or genito-urinary symptoms. There are features suggestive of sleep apnoea.

This requirement was reestablished in 1995 as part of the California Assessment of Academic Achievement Act, and in 1996, the SBE designated FITNESSGRAM® as the required physical fitness test (California Department of Education, 2013) a component included in the physical education program. In 2007, the California legislature (Senate Bills 78 and 601) passed a law that took effect in 2009 (Education Code Section 60800) requiring all California students to pass five of six physical fitness tests (PFTs) or “face the possibility of repeating physical education class until they passed or they graduated” (Peaceful Playgrounds, n.d., para. 5 ). The California State Board of Education designated the FITNESSGRAM® by the Cooper Institute and NFL Play60 as PFTs; along with the adoption of the Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZs) standards set for the body max index (BMI) and aerobic capacity testing. The FITNESSGRAM® is part of the state-mandated categorical program monitoring process that is required to be administered to all California public pupils in grades 5, 7, and 9 during the testing window, February through May. California school districts are required to present information to the School Accountability Report Card, which provides data about a school’s student achievement, environment, resources, and demographics (Education Code sections 33126 and
