Fitness And Exercise Impact On Systems
Physical fitness is important for health and wellness because exercise has a beneficial effect on most systems in the body. Unfortunately, many people do not get adequate exercise. According to 2017 data, only, 53.3% of U.S. adults engaged in the amount of aerobic exercise that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends for good health, and only 23.2% got a sufficient amount of both aerobic and strengthening exercise.1
Most people would benefit from getting more exercise, because of the ways it improves overall health.
