Exercise Physiology
Exercise Physiology
Dr. Philip Ades’ exercise physiology research program has had consistent NIH funding since 1988. His current research is on methods and benefits of weight loss in obese coronary patients. Other recent projects have addressed interventions to treat and prevent disability in older coronary patients. A recent review on "Cardiac Rehabilitation and the Secondary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease" in the New England Journal defines state-of-the-art practice in cardiac rehabilitation.
