This volume presents a curated and thematically organized translation of selected passages on riyāḍa (exercise) from the Canon of Medicine (al-Qānūn fī al-ṭibb) of Ibn Sīnā. Drawing on Books I-IV of the Canon, it brings together both the systematic chapters in which exercise is treated as a central component of regimen, and the numerous dispersed references in which it appears as a governing principle in physiology, pathology, and therapy.
