Supervised exercise programs have been recommended to lessen the risks of extended inactivity.
Sucrose treatment is now being recommended prior to exercise.

Famous quotes containing the words treatment and/or therapy:
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
