Patella Tendon Syndrome Conservative Treatment: Summary of High Quality Current Evidence

Abstract

Hwrite Liu

Individual benefits of regular exercise are evident in secondary, primary, and primordial prevention of numerous diseases, including cancer, functional diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, cardiometabolic conditions like coronary artery diseases, hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes, among others. In addition, regular exercise has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality, happiness, longevity, and the risk of physical disability and dependence. The fact that cardiorespiratory fitness is now considered a significant quantitative predictor of all-cause mortality and is potentially a stronger predictor of mortality than established risk factors is of particular interest. From a clinical perspective, improving a patient's cardiorespiratory fitness from a low level (capacity to perform an exercise between six and eight METs) to a moderate level (capacity to perform an exercise between six and eight METs) results in the greatest observed reduction in mortality. Additionally, a positive relationship between lean body mass and longevity is described, particularly in low-BMI patients; In addition, low muscle mass was associated with all-cause mortality more strongly and significantly than low muscle strength.
