Consequences of Physical Inactivity

First, let’s clarify what physical activity is. Physical activity is defined as any body movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure. Physical activity and energy expenditure are two different concepts. Simply put, physical activity is a behavior that causes energy expenditure to rise above resting levels. Energy calculation with physical activity reflects the energy expended during general activities.

SO, DO YOU THINK YOU MOVE ENOUGH DURING THE DAY?

As a result of a study conducted, the negative effects of inactivity on human health are explained under headings through an extensive literature review. Definitive scientific evidence shows that many diseases or their precursors are more common in individuals who engage in very little or no physical activity compared to those who are regularly active. Moreover, an increasing number of epidemiological studies in the last decade provide stronger evidence that physical inactivity is a cause of the development of these unhealthy conditions. This literature review provides a broad overview of important findings in the field. For this purpose, existing studies were examined and it was determined that inactivity is a very strong risk factor for “muscle and strength loss,” “osteoporosis and related fractures,” “calcification,” “back pain,” “overweight and obesity,” “type 2 diabetes,” “hypertension,” “metabolic syndrome,” “coronary heart disease,” and “cancer.”

If you haven’t taken a step to exercise yet, the risks found as a result of the research above will always be waiting at your door. Therefore, in order not to postpone your health any longer, after reading this, you should take your first steps to exercise and progress in the light of sports and science. We hope to see you at Shaba Life Club as you take your first steps. Stay healthy.
