    This article reviews the decline of physical strength with aging, and exercise for preventing the decline as well as appropriate uptake of nutritions. Appropriate exercise based on appropriate uptake of nutritions is effective for preventing the decline in physical strength. Especially for the institutionalized elderly persons who showed extremely lower daily activities, constant exercise played an effective role in the maintenance of physical strength, even though they had no custom of doing exercises such as sports activity or physical labor. Energy uptake exceeding the energy expenditure may induce obesity, thereby potentially aggravating the decline in physical strength.

    Foot injury is most frequently recognized among sports injuries, and injured persons generally go to hospital complaining of pain. Human beings only touch the ground with their feet, foot disorder affects the proximal joints, and vice versa, subsequently inducing various disorders. Treatment for foot injury should be recognized not only as a disorder of foot alone, but also as that of whole body. The followings are therefore necessary; accurate recognition of the injured point from the anatomical viewpoint, functional evaluation without load, functional evaluation with load in order to examine the relation to the center of gravity. It is of paramount importance to analyze each examination and evaluation, and to explore the optimum treatment.

    The effectiveness of aerobic exercise and resistance exercise on healthy subjects has often been emphasized, and more stress should be laid upon that on the disabled. Disabled persons pose serious functional problems in musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, and are considered to have risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. They, however, exhibit the similar exercise response to healthy persons, and their functional deterioration is possibly improved by rehabilitation training and sports activity. This article reports the results of the effect of exercise on disabled persons we had long examined, with a primary purpose of recommending the clinical application.

    In sports injury, the pain of the injured point frequently stems from an excessive mechanical stress. Physical therapy for sports injury of lower extremities can be effectively performed with three-step method; in the first step physical therapy for pain relief and remission of inflammation, in the second step conventional physical therapy on the injured point with a primary purpose of reducing the mechanical stress on the point, and in the third step physical therapy for removing causative physical factors of injury. In addition to these, the followings may be taken in consideration; muscle activity highly depends on the posture, limit of range of motion or muscle shortening undoubtedly affects other joints, monarticular muscle shows different motor response from polyarticular muscle, and there is a torque that outside power requires the joint in every movement.

    Myocardial infarction is one of the typical cardiovascular diseases. This article describes exercise therapy for patients with myocardial infarction in the acute, recovery and chronic stages. There is no general agreement concerning the involvement of physical therapy in the treatment for hypertension and obesity because of a difference in medical insurance points and conflict of perception of the disease among physical therapists. Extensive physical therapy would be necessary in the future treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including the primary prevention of risk factors.

    The causative factors for throwing shoulder are variously reported, and it is therefore desirable that the treatment should be made under the intimate involvement of various medical staffs. Physical therapy for throwing shoulder plays key roles in improvement of functional disorder and reconstruction of joints of whole body. The roles also extend to avoiding undesirable effect on disease itself and technical ability. The practical purposes of physical therapy for throwing shoulder, that is, to improve the injured point, to improve functional ability, or to perform therapeutic exercise in view of characteristics of sports, should be decided by the physical condition of a subject.
