Health Benefits of Physical Activity

Exercising regularly makes us feel better. It helps us lose weight while improving our muscular strength and flexibility. Davis and Cowles (1991) said that the psychological benefits of fitness include enhanced self-esteem, greater self-reliance, decreased anxiety and relief from mild depressions. Brisk walking from 30 to 45 minutes six to seven times a week cuts the risks of cardiovascular disease. There are also nutritional benefits from exercise. It helps control obesity, helps suppress the appetite, helps conserve lean tissues and enables a physically active person to have healthier quantity of fats in the blood.


Exercise compensates for the changes that accompany agility in several ways. It helps prevent the loss of muscles and can even help regain lost muscles. It will boost the resting metabolic rate and therefore aids in weight control and improves aerobic capacity as in younger people.
