Implementation and maintenance in exercise: people can maintain an exercise routine for about 6 months until adherence levels start to plummet. A weight loss intervention/ program participant may achieve a goal weight, however their goals become reversed when adherence levels drops: emphasis on scientific evidence (epidemiological, lab based/experimental, biological plausibility, these are 3 ways we can use evidence.

With exercise we can reverse the plague built up in the coronary arteries. Improves disease symptoms: increases angina threshold: angina mismatch between ___ resulting in chest pain. Improves physiological function: stimulate release of nitric oxide: dilates/expands the bv.
