20 Noεμβρίου 2018, The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans - Jama

A 2018 guideline from the US Department of Health and Human Services provides information and guidance on the types and amounts of physical activity that provide substantial health benefits for multiple population groups. The recommendations emphasize that moving more and sitting less will benefit nearly everyone, and that individuals performing the least physical activity benefit most by even modest increases in moderate to vigorous physical activity.

Importance  Approximately 80% of US adults and adolescents are insufficiently active. Physical activity fosters normal growth and development and can make people feel, function, and sleep better and reduce risk of many chronic diseases.

Objective  To summarize key guidelines in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2nd edition (PAG).
