Document Summary
Quantity and quality of exercise for developing and maintaining cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, and neuromotor fitness in apparently healthy adults: guidance for prescribing exercise. They also blood pressure; improve lipoprotein profile, c-reactive protein, and other. What are the health benefits of physical fitness: overall and abdominal obesity are associated with increased risk of adverse health outcomes, whereas greater fat-free mass is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. However, the shape of the dose response curve is less clear curve probably differs depending on the health outcome of interest and the baseline level of physical activity of the individual. Some studies show it is the volume of energy expended that is important rather than the duration of the exercise. Weekend warrior"" pattern (a large total volume of physical activity may be accumulated over fewer days of the week than is recommended) still shows benefits but risks are unknown.
