Therapeutic exercise is an effective and accessible method of intervention in the promotion of general health and is increasingly used in the prevention and recovery from physical and mental disorders. In this study, a personalized eight-week therapeutic exercise program was developed and delivered to a group of ten young adults with varying levels of physical activity and varying health conditions.

The program was structured progressively, starting with simple mobilization and general activation exercises, continuing with strength, coordination and stretching exercises, and ending with relaxation and physiological self-regulation components. The main objective was to improve cardiovascular parameters, body mass index, quality of life and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

The results showed significant improvements in blood pressure, pulse, weight and psychological scores (QOL, IDS, ASQ), confirming the benefits of therapeutic exercise as an integrated tool to promote a balanced lifestyle. The study supports the integration of regular exercise into the daily routine, not only as a rehabilitation method but also as an active form of prevention.
