Document Summary
This in turn decreases resting heart rate, because more blood is being pumped so the heart doesn"t have to work as hard: aerobic capacity or vo2 max: maximum ability to generate atp by aerobic metabolism. The greater the aerobic capacity, the more intense activity he/she can perform before a lack of oxygen affects performance: muscle strength and endurance, weight lifting causes hypertrophy, increase in muscle size opposite of atrophy. If activity slows, percentage of body fat increases even if body weight stays the same: how exercise benefits health, cardiovascular health. Lowers blood pressure, increases hdl cholesterol, reduces risk of heart attack and stroke: diabetes prevention and management. By keeping body fat within normal range, decreases the risk of developing type 2. Aerobics and strength training can increase sensitivity of tissues to insulin: bone and joint health. Weight bearing exercises help bones grow denser and stronger. Regular exercise may reduce cancer risk up to 40%
