Summary Introduction

To contrast: Physical activity and exercise and to explain the ways by which both physcial acitivty and exercise can be related with lower risk of CHD and improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness.

Introduction: Coronary heart disease(CHD) occurs because of high cholesterol content in the arteries. Cholesterol deposits at the walls of arteries, making them narrower. The narrow arteries are unable to supply enough oxygen to the body. Cardiovascular fitness(CRF) allows the circulatory and respiratory systems of an individual to provide enough oxygen during physical exercise.

Explanation of Solution

The major difference between the physical activity and exercise is given as follows:

CriteriaPhysical activityExercise
DefinitionPhysical activity is the physical movement of muscles which help to burn calories in relation to muscles.Exercise is planned, structured, and repetitive physical activity and helps to maintain a healthy life.

The American Heart Association has told that physical inactivity leads to CHD. The epidemiological studies also show that increased physical activity reduced the death rate by CHD. Therefore, it is essential to use physical activity along with other therapies to reduce CHD.

Walking, jogging, running, swimming, cycling, dancing, and rowing are different types of physical exercise. CRF (cardiovascular fitness) is the capability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to transfer the oxygen. CRF depends on the proper frequency, duration, and intensity of the exercise to produce enough energy expenditure. The earlier intensity was the basis to structure the exercise to increase CRF. ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) has recommended 20‑60 minutes of exercise sessions to increase CRF.

Exercise is a physical activity that is planned and structured to be healthy. Physical activity is the body movement. Exercise plays an important role to increase CRF and reduce CHD.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
