Exercise physiologists are trained, knowledgeable of the human structure / working conditions, exercise, its prescriptions and values to optimal health and performance. Exercise physiologists are capable of examining individuals, prescribing exercises and scheduling program of activities that keep individual fit and rehabilitate patients. They have a wide array of fitness, prevention and treatment options depending on the need of individual. Exercise routines might be the home based/gym based. Exercise physiologists can assist in the treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of medical conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, asthma, arthritis, depression, diabetes, osteoporosis as well as other health conditions. This paper points out the various roles played by exercise physiologists through interaction with existing or emerging health issues in the environment considering his ability to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities available to market his innovations and respond to it based on the identifiable opportunities to prescribe individualised exercise medicine to patients and clients of all ages (Ref: Mercy T Fatoba, Busuyi Fatoba. Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Exercise Physiology. Medical Science, 2017, 21(83), 1-7); (Image: http://ki.ill.in.ua/).

Malaria, one of the most devastating parasitic infections, transmitted by mosquitoes, kills more than 1 million people annually. Pregnant women, children, and immune-compromised individuals have the highest morbidity and mortality, and Africa bears the heaviest burden. According to World Health Organization, malaria has slowed economic growth in endemic countries in Africa by up to 1.3 per cent per year. Africa’s GDP would probably be in the region of US $100 billion higher if malaria had been tackled 30 years ago, when effective control measures first became available.
This writer-up highlights individual factors, programmes and policies that contribute to achieving goals of healthy aging for adults experiencing functional impairment. It presents a range of elements that influence opportunities older adults have to meet, their individual aging objectives and how they can remain active members of their communities.
