Takeaways Exercise is like medicine; it requires the right dosage. Dosage of exercise can change over time and circumstances. Individualized dosage is crucial for injury recovery. Under dosing is safer than overdosing in rehabilitation. Rehabilitation exercises also require careful dosage management. A case study illustrates the importance of dosage in practice. Balancing training intensity and volume is essential. Exercise selection is less important than proper dosing. Many running injuries stem from improper dosage.
