Supervised exercise programs have been recommended to lessen the risks of extended inactivity.
Sucrose treatment is now being recommended prior to exercise.

Famous quotes containing the words treatment and/or therapy:
“Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth. We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, “Go to sleep by yourselves.” And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
