Performance records of 22 extremely obese adult patients undergoing physical rehabilitation in a multi-disciplinary program were used to devise three progressive training protocols to which patients can be individually assigned. These protocols include "fastest pace" walking and jogging and are designed to rehabilitate patients to a two-mile continuous walk within three, five or seven weeks. Specific definition of progressions in distance/work session units are given and criteria for assigning patients to each protocol are discussed. The program allows time for psychological as well as physiological adaptation and improves the rehabilitative process by eliminating much of the variability and regression previously attributed to patient manipulation.
22名极度肥胖成年患者在多学科项目中接受身体康复治疗的表现记录被用于设计三种循序渐进的训练方案，患者可根据自身情况被单独分配至相应方案。这些方案包括“最快速度”行走和慢跑，旨在使患者在三、五或七周内恢复到能够连续行走两英里的状态。文中给出了距离/工作时段单位进展的具体定义，并讨论了将患者分配到每个方案的标准。该方案为心理和生理适应留出了时间，通过消除先前因患者个体差异导致的许多变异性和康复倒退现象，改善了康复进程。
