Document Summary

Could be reduced by increasing physical activity 150 minutes each week. An improved physiological state leading to improved health and longevity. Cardiovascular: the ability of the body to take in and use oxygen. Muscle strength/endurance: endurance: ability of the muscle to maintain a contraction or repeat a contraction for a period of time. Strength: ability of the muscle to produce maximum tension tone. Flexibility: range of motion of the joins. Body composition: ratio of fat free mass to fat mass. Men have twice as much muscle and half as much fat. Men"s heart and lungs are larger than women. In general, women and men often vary in types of exercise they choose. Recommendation: cardio 4-7 days a week, mse 2-4, flexibility 4-7. Muscles need to be challenged by gradual increases in stress. Challenging body to a certain load over a period of time, body will begin to adapt to specific load.
