South Africa 2018 : Mandela’s memory and presidential prototypes for exercise interventions and implementation

Abstract

Even (in prison) on Robben island, I attempted to follow my old boxing routine of doing roadwork and muscle-building… On Monday through Thursday, I would do stationary running in my cell in the morning for up to forty-five minutes. I would also perform one hundred fingertip push-ups, two hundred sit-ups, fifty deep knee-bends, and various other calisthenics." Nelson Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, 1994.
