Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The American Heart Association recommends accumulating at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity per week. This translates to approximately 30 minutes of activity on most days of the week for moderate intensity, and at least 20 minutes of vigorous intensity activity on at least three days of the week. Therefore, choice C, which suggests accumulating 30 or more minutes of moderate intensity activity most days of the week and 20 or more minutes of vigorous intensity activity on at least three days of the week, is the best option.
