Assessing the Impact of Mass Participation Events

Physical activity is any bodily movement produced by the skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure.

Exercise is planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement done to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness.

The five major components of physical fitness are muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

<p>For adults aged 18-64, the guidelines recommend doing either 2.5+ hours of moderate intensity physical activity, 1.25+ hours of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both, each week. Muscle-strengthening activities should be included on at least 2 days. For children aged 5-17, the guidelines recommend at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity that makes the heart beat faster each day, with muscle and bone strengthening activities on at least 3 days. Older adults aged 65+ should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days, and should incorporate different types of activities during the week.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Compared to physically inactive participants, both 'regularly active' participants and 'weekend warriors' were at reduced risk of all-cause mortality and mortality due to heart disease and cancer. 'Weekend warrior' participants, who completed 1-2 sessions per week, had similar mortality rates as 'regularly active' participants when the same amount of total moderate-vigorous physical activity was considered.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Completing more than 50% of daily MVPA between approximately midday and afternoon (11:00-17:00) or at a mixture of times was associated with lower risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality. Completing more than 50% of daily MVPA during the morning (05:00-11:00) did not predict lower risks.</p> Signup and view all the answers
