FITNESS TRAINING
“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy
body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.”—John F.
Kennedy, Sports Illustrated, December 26, 1960
,A healthy lifestyle involving physical activity
positively affects fitness and well-being. Physical
fitness can involve any physical exertion that
improves mental and physical health, including
the prevention or correction of impairments.
Physical activity must be performed to a certain
extent (number of repetitions or minutes) to
reap any benefits. According to the Surgeon
General’s report, “significant health benefits can
be obtained by including a moderate amount of
physical activity (e.g, 30 minutes of brisk
walking or raking leaves, 15 minutes of running,
or 45 minutes of playing volleyball) on most, if
not all, days of the week
