Answer to Question 1

Health fitness standards are based on data linking minimum fitness values to disease prevention and health. Attaining health fitness standards requires only moderate physical activity. Although fitness improvements are not as notable in a moderate-intensity exercise program, health improvements are quite striking. These benefits include reduction in blood lipids, lower blood pressure, weight loss, stress release, less risk for diabetes, and lower risk for disease and premature mortality.
Physical fitness standards are set higher than health fitness standards and require a more intense exercise program. Physically fit people of all ages have the freedom to enjoy most of life's daily and recreational activities to their fullest potentials. Current health fitness standards may not be enough to achieve these objectives.
