barriers to physical activity
Definition
- Adherence to a structured exercise program provides numerous health benefits, including reductions in body weight and fat stores, blood pressure and blood glucose management, improved lipid/lipoprotein profiles, increased cardiorespiratory fitness, decreased cardiovascular risk, and enhanced psychosocial well-being. Despite these benefits, many individuals find it difficult to comply with a regular exercise program, predisposing them to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other chronic diseases and medical conditions.
