Exercise Prescription Test 1

health

-physical, metal, and social well being
-not just absence of disease

exercise

-planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful physical activity

physical activity

-body movement produced by muscle action that increases energy expenditure
-health benefits with SOME physical activity
-more physical activity greater health benefits

fitness

-attributes related to how well one performs physical activity

planned exercise

-set to develop ones physical fitness level

effects of exercise training on...
