[wptabtitle] I did not exercise for a long time – Can I start over?[/wptabtitle]

[wptabcontent]
For a human physical activity is essential for survival.

Here is an excerpt form the website of the Federal Ministry of Health (Austria).

  • A person is inactive if he or she makes no exercise besides the basis activity. Physical inactivity is over a longer period of time a risk of health.
  • A person is slightly physically active if he or she exercises a little more – once per week – than his/her basis activity. Some exercise is better than no exercise because a small health related benefit arises. The least recommendations for exercising that is useful for health reasons are not met, though.
  • Middle physical level of activity is defined by an amount of 150 – 300 minutes (= 2,5 – 5 hours) exercise per week with mean intensity (50 – 70 percent of the maximum pulse). The benefit for health is stronger and rises by a increasing stint of exercise per week.
  • Höheres körperliches Aktivitätsniveau bedeutet, dass eine Person mehr als 300 Minuten (= fünf Stunden) pro Woche mit mittlerer Intensität körperliche aktiv ist. Damit kann ein zusätzlicher gesundheitlicher Nutzen erreicht werden. Allerdings kann das Risiko für Überlastungsschäden bei einem hohen wöchentlichen Bewegungsumfang steigen.
  • High physical level of activity means that a person is physically active for more than 300 minutes (= 5 hours) per week with mean intensity. So a additional benefit of health can be accomplished. However, a high weekly amount of exercise can increase the risk of a injury by overload.

It is about time to start moving again!
