"This session will explore the latest evidence detailing the benefits and risks of exercise for individuals and populations with different wound types, within different age groups, and with different risk factors.
Specific examples regarding types of exercise, types of programs, and individual-dosing protocols will be reviewed. Further, discussion points will be provided as tips to engage in conversations about exercise to improve behavior change and ultimately, improve wound healing. "
