Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The CDC recommendation for physical activity for children and adolescents, ages 6 to 17, are: 1 hour or more of physical activity every day with most of the hour consisting of moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. The CDC also recommends that during the daily hour of physical activity, muscle- and bone-strengthening activity should each be included at least 3 days per week. Therefore, the 16 year old who swims for 1 hour 5 days per week and jogs for 60 minutes the remaining 2 days per week meets the CDC recommendations. The swimming would also be considered a muscle-strengthening activity and the jogging would be considered a bone-strengthening activity. The other options do not meet CDC recommendations.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5
According to Healthy People 2020, regular physical activity results in a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, and hypertension. It does not result in decreasing the risk of skin cancer or renal disease.
