MODERATE AND VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

Physical Activity occurs when your muscles contract to make your body move. Experts recommend that
teens spend at least 60 minutes and up to serval hours performing physical activity each day.

Moderate Physical Activity refers to activities that are not too easy and not too hard. This kind of
activity requires a moderate amount of effort and noticeably accelerates the heart rate.

Vigorous Physical Activity produces large increases in breathing or heart rate, such as jogging, aerobic
dance, or bicycling uphill. It also requires a large amount of effort. Active sports and recreation activities such
as tennis, dancing, aerobics are examples of vigorous physical activities. These activities are considered
vigorous because you use more energy doing these activities (Corbin, Le Masurier, Lambdin, 2018, p. 3).
