Hypothesis: Exercise exists in different forms and has many benefits; it improves the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, development of bones, strengthens muscles and the lungs capacity plus it can make you feel good. There are different exercises and intensities for different benefits. Lower intensity exercises are not designed to work the body as hard. As a result less oxygen is needed and less waste is in excess. However even low intensity exercises require more substances to be carried out than if your body was in its resting state. Therefore different concentrations of substances are required for different intensities of exercise. In effect this affects your heart and breathing rate. (Jones & Jones, 1984) (Ross, 1978)…

Due to higher trends of sedentary lifestyles, inactivity has become one of the critical current global issues. Inactivity is defined as a failure to meet the daily minimum physical requirement of moderate exercise. According to New York Times, worldwide, 31.1% of adults are inactive, from which 43.4% of North America, 34.8% of Europe, 30% of Russia, 30% of the Middle East, and 27% African. Based on these percentages, it is reasonable to assume that the wealthy the region is, the more inactive it is likely to be. Sedentary lifestyles have recently been linked to many health issues such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, colon cancer and breast cancer. As stated in the New York Times, globally, around 5.3 million people die from health issues that are related to physical inactivity; however comparatively, 5.1 million people die due to health concerns that are related to smoking. It is unfortunate that people do not understand the magnitude of the importance of physical activity due to the fact that inactivity is as deadly as smoking cigarettes. In the United States, inactivity level is the highest in the world, which makes it an undeniable concern. The average American lifestyle consists of driving to work, sitting at a desk all day, then sitting in front of a computer or a TV screen until falling asleep. The common trend of this routine is a lot of sitting and very little exercise. Although, the good news is that health issues correlated with inactivity can be easily prevented by meeting the minimum exercise requirement, which is a twenty-minute walk per day. Additionally, as for worldwide…

However, studies have shown several preventive measures to decrease the risks. Previous studies have shown an association between physical activity and the risk of developing coronary heart disease and total or ischemic stroke among whites and Japanese Americans. Physical activity has a lot of benefits that include lowered blood pressure, increased insulin sensitivity, elevated HDL-cholesterol levels, and improved endothelial function (Noda, 2005). Data shows that there is about 20% to 50% reduction in mortality due to cardiovascular disease related with higher exercise participation in Asian countries where work related physical activity is higher than that in Western countries like the United States. Furthermore, the participation in sports was associated with a reduced mortality due to coronary heart disease, while walking was associated with a reduced risk for mortality from ischemic stroke (Noda, 2005). Also, some studies show that brisk walking and vigorous exercise are associated with significant and similar decreases in the incidence of coronary events among women (Manson, 1999). Moreover, there are several studies that suggest the different diet changes that can serve as preventive measures to reduce the risk for heart disease and stroke. Also, wholegrain consumption provides protection for coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease (Flight,…

Heart Disease. Regular activity strengthens your heart muscle; lowers blood pressure; increases "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDLs) and lowers "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDLs); enhances blood flow; and helps your heart function more efficiently. All of these benefits reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure.…
Why is cardiovascular exercise important? There are many reasons, as for one cardiovascular exercise helps your heart and lungs supply oxygen and blood to working muscles. Cardiovascular exercise helps you lose weight and it gets your heart rate up to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and sickness such as diabetes. In my opinion Cardiovascular exercise is very important and should not be ignored. Also in my opinion a child the age 5-15 should get at least 2-3 hours of exercise a day.…
