| physical activity dose-response | there is strong evidence to support a dose response relationship between PA and, all-cause mortality, improved cardiorespiratory health, metabolic health, weight loss, muscular health, breast and colon cancers |
| leading causes of death in US | heart disease, cancer, and unintentional injuries diabetes is related to all of these |
| increased in physical activity is associated with | lower death rates from coronary artery disease, lower incidence rates for cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, lower CV and all-cause mortality in post heart attack patients, lower anxiety and depression, |
