1.0 ARTICLE FROM DIFFEREN SOURCES ON EXERCISE 1.1 BOOK THE ROLE OF EXERCISE IN THE PROMOTION OF GOOD HEALTH There is much research to support the belief that appropriate forms of physical activity can reduce the risk and severity of many disorder (Hardman, 1996); in addition, exercise is reported to help control of related problems such as stress. Therefore, inactivity itself is considered to be a health risk by many authorities (Blair et al., 1995), who recommend the participation in appropriate forms of exercise as a means of promoting or maintaining health (Astrand and Grimby, 1986; Fentem et al., 1988, 1990; Bouchard, 1989; bouchard et al., 1994). In general, research into the topic of health and exercise aims to determine whether there is a definite relationship between the regular participation in physical activity and the development and maintenance of good health. However, as is often the case with research into human epidemiology, the complexities of disease and the human lifestyle make the reported benefits of exercise difficult to prove without exception. Therefore, whilst there is an undoubted relationship between exercise and health, the proof of the causes and effect is often open to debate.

Nurses can assist in the promotion of primary care by educating patients regarding the importance and benefits of vaccinations and avoiding risky behaviors that may lead to diseases, such as, smoking and unprotected sex. Nurses at the primary level may also educate patients regarding healthy eating and routine exercises to decrease risk factors.
