- Are there different recommendations for children, adults or older adults? If so, specify them.
- With your neighbour list three health benefits that can be achieved from being regularly physically active
Out of Class
In Chapter 1 we have defined many key terms. Three important ones are PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, EXERCISE, AND SPORT. You may also want to refer to the March 2000 document here: http://www.fitness.gov/pcpfs_research_digs.htm
- Read the text, then write down a definition of each in your own words.
