Exercise training is a therapy that accompanies and follows physiotherapy. Basic training principles are discussed on the basis of motricity research. Initially, exercise therapy mostly trains patients to recall and standardize the execution of exercise programs. With the patient's increasing power of endurance, the intensity of extent of training are increased. Exercise therapy eventually aims at particularly preparing the patient for the activities of daily living and the sportsman for the requirements specific to training and competition.
