Physical activity is widely recognized as a fundamental means of improving health across the lifespan.

This presentation will focus on current research that aims to promote movement as medicine in children and adolescents with chronic medical conditions, and will highlight the key role of patient stories in shaping on-going studies in the Child Health & Exercise Medicine Program<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
