Happy Saturday Y’all. Here is a snippet from an article I was reading earlier that I found interesting:
————————————
How many people actually meet physical activity guidelines?
“A 2018 study of 1.9 million adults from 168 countries found that 72.5% of adults met aerobic exercise guidelines, while a 2020 review with data on over a million adults from six countries found that about 22.5% of adults met guidelines related to muscle-strengthening activities.
So, in total:
-about 17.3% of people do enough aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise,
-about 5.2% of people do enough muscle strengthening exercise but not enough aerobic exercise,
-about 55.2% of people do enough aerobic exercise but not enough muscle strengthening exercise,
-leaving about 22.3% of people not doing enough muscle strengthening exercise or aerobic exercise.
Keep in mind that these estimates of people meeting aerobic exercise guidelines, muscle strengthening exercise guidelines, and both sets of guidelines come from different studies covering different countries, so these are imprecise estimates.
However, I do think the general takeaway is accurate: people are far more likely to meet aerobic exercise guidelines than muscle strengthening guidelines, and maybe 20-25% of people don't do enough of either type of exercise.”
