Physical activity does not need to be hard to provide some benefit.
Participating in moderate-intensity physical activity is a vital component
of a healthy lifestyle for people of all ages and abilities. This section
explains the physical activity recommendations.

Promote Physical Activity from the Guide to Community Preventive Services

physical activity. An in-depth review of the evidence and recommendations,
including information about how the reviews were conducted and commentaries
from leading subject matter experts, has been published in the May 2002
