Centers for Disease Control: Physical Activity and Health

Curated by ACT

A six-chapter report by the Surgeon General in 1999, "Physical Activity and Health" provides research on the health benefits linked to physical activity. Though this article is very long, key ideas and facts can be easily obtained through introductory contents and concluding notes that are provided for each chapter. Chapters include: "Physiologic Responses and Long-Term Adaptations to Exercise," "The Effects of Physical Activity on Health and Disease," and "Understanding and Promoting Physical Activity."
