Document Summary
Bodily movement that is produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles and that substantially. 23% adults perform enough exercise to gain health benefits. 10% of people exercise enough for cardiovasucalr fitness. Goal: improve health, fitness and aulity of life through physical activity. Seven objectives showing progress (five adults, two adolescents); three moving away from target (adolescents) Decreases cadiac moratality in heart failure patients and improves metabolic/functional indicators. Positive effects on chd risk factors such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure, glucose tolerance, obesity, platelet function. Dilates peripheral blood vessels decreases systemic vasucalr resistance. Helps prevent progression of dm 2 during early disease stages. Increases metabolic efficiency for burning calories (increases lean body mass) Counteracts decrease in metabolic rate by preserving lean body mass. Low impact aerobic exercise, increase in daily activites and resistance training. 5to 7 times a week for 40 to 60 minutes daily. Related to intensity of physical activity and degree to which activity stresses the bone.
