Exercise, Fitness, Mortality, Physical activity promotionAbstract
Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with the prevention and treatment of most chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and some types of cancer, and the reduction of premature mortality. PA has important effects on mental and cognitive health, quality of sleep, cognitive performance, prevention of falls and fractures and on the improvement of functional capacity in the elderly. Therefore, PA should be part of the recommendations of any health professional. PA guidelines for health promotion recommend that every person at any age should perform at least 30 minutes of moderate PA a day for adults and 60 minutes for children and adolescents and must include muscle strength exercises at least two days a week. In addition to this the health professional should recommend the decrease of time in sedentary behaviors and move whenever possible. More minutes and more intensity of AF bring benefits at any age and in any clinical condition
