I provide an analysis of both the Hippocratic views on exercise and the prescriptions themselves from the following texts: Regimen, Internal Affections, and Regimen in Acute Diseases. The fundamental purpose of this research project is to study the origins of exercise therapy as a medical practice in the ancient world.enMaster Thesis
