Type: editorial
Abstract: Paul Dudley White, the Boston cardiologist famous for consulting on President Eisenhower when Eisenhower suffered a myocardial infarction in 1955, believed that "a normal person should exercise seven hours a week.If you could not exercise an hour everyday, make up the difference on the weekend." 1 So familiar was White's advocacy of exercise that his obituary in the New England Journal of Medicine started with the statement, "Practically everyone knows that Dr Paul Dudley White rode a bicycle and preached exercise."
