To achieve its mission, the Section will engage in several activities, whose topics can range from applied issues to discussions of the biological mechanisms of exercise.
- Elaboration and publication of recommendations for the safe and effective participation of patients and healthy adults of all ages in physical exercise.
- Elaboration and publication of position papers related to exercise in CVD prevention and rehabilitation.
- Elaboration and publication of scholarly scientific documents
- Facilitation of the development of original research projects
- Organisation of and/or participation in educational activities related to the Section’s goals.
