Nautilus Resistance Training
Resistance training is an important part of rehabilitation therapy for cardiac, pulmonary,
and diabetes patients. It promotes the development of lean muscle mass; this enhances metabolism
and facilitates effective weight management. As well, such training, when combined with cardiovascular
activity, helps diabetes patients to reduce insulin resistance and maintain better control of their
blood glucose levels.
Patient Monitoring
Patients are monitored regularly; this includes telemetry monitoring of their electrocardiogram as well as blood pressure and blood glucose measurements. This clinical data is used for
developing exercise prescriptions, nutritional counseling, and related therapeutic interventions. The data are also shared with referring physicians.
