Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week to achieve substantial health benefits. This can be achieved in increments of 10 minutes or more throughout the week. Option A (10 minutes/day) would only amount to 70 minutes/week and is not enough to achieve substantial health benefits. Option B (20 minutes/day) would amount to 140 minutes/week, which is close but still falls short of the recommended minimum. Option D (300 minutes/week) is a higher amount than what is needed for substantial health benefits and may not be feasible or realistic for everyone to achieve.
