Abstract
- The Danish Fitness and Nutrition Council has examined the scientific literature to evaluate the effects of a physically inactive lifestyle on health in the adult population. Physical inactivity is defined as less than 2.5 hours of moderately intense activity per week. 30-40% of the adult Danish population is defined as physically inactive. A physically inactive lifestyle has a negative impact on metabolic and cardio-vascular functions and increases the risk of developing lifestyle diseases. Furthermore, physical inactivity increases the risk of disability among the elderly.
