All of the conditions listed (hypertension, sleep apnea and respiratory problems, and endometrial, breast, prostate, and colon cancer) are associated with overweight and obesity.

Question 2

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention physical activity guidelines for adults prescribe:&#10;A)Aerobic activity every week (150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity)&#10;B)Aerobic activity for 10 minutes daily&#10;C)Muscle strengthening activities of major muscle groups every other day&#10;D)Flexibility training every day as soon as you get up

Accepted Answer

The CDC recommends adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days per week.

Question 3

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention physical activity guidelines for children prescribe:&#10;A)Aerobic activity every week (150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity)&#10;B)Flexibility exercises every other day&#10;C)Physical activity for 60 minutes each day and bone strengthening activities three times per week&#10;D)Muscle strengthening at least once per week

Accepted Answer

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) physical activity guidelines clearly prescribe that children should engage in physical activity for 60 minutes each day and bone strengthening activities three times per week. The guidelines also recommend that children should include aerobic activity every week, with a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity. The guidelines recommend flexibility exercises or stretching every day, but do not prescribe flexibility exercises every other day for children. The CDC guidelines also recommend muscle strengthening exercises at least three times per week for children, not at least once per week. Therefore, the best choice is C.
