Physical Activity and Men
Introduction[edit | edit source]
Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Regular moderate intensity physical activity – such as walking, cycling, or participating in sports – has significant benefits for health. For instance, it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, colon and breast cancer, and depression. Moreover, adequate levels of physical activity will decrease the risk of a hip or vertebral fracture and help control weight[1].
According to WHO (World Health Organisation) globally, around 23% of adults aged 18 and over were not active enough in 2010 (men 20% and women 27%) [2].
