CHAPTER 9 CHAPTER 9 Nutritional Concerns of Athletes
F. Nutrition and Exercise in Individuals with CAD
There is an almost-complete absence of any information in the literature regarding specific nutritional guidelines for individuals with CAD who engage in a program of regular physical activity or participate in athletic events. Diet modification is usually an important component in the integrated management of CAD. The physician, along with other members of the individual’s health care team such as a registered dietitian or nurse practitioner, can assist the individual in developing a treatment plan that will meet his or her needs. Recommendations concerning exercise, diet, medication, and other aspects of the treatment plan should be based on the individual's overall health and the specific goals of the plan.
VI. SUMMARY
Physical activity offers many health benefits to individuals afflicted with chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Regular aerobic activity can usually slow the progression of these diseases and even partially reverse it in many cases. In addition, physically fit individuals usually respond better to pharmacological intervention and recover faster after surgery. The presence of one of these chronic medical conditions and their associated diseases

should not prevent an individual from engaging in some type of physical activity. The type of exercise program that is appropriate for any given individuals will be governed by their overall physical health. Therefore, anyone suffering from one or more of these chronic medical conditions should have a complete medical check-up before beginning any exercise program. Based on the results, the physician will be able to offer guidance on a suitable exercise program. As overall health improves, more-vigorous physical activity can often be incorporated into the exercise plan.
