Abstract

Regular physical activity is one of the most important activities you can do for your health. Because you're afraid of being harmed, moderate-intensity aerobic activities, such as brisk walking, are generally safe for people if you're not sure you're activated or increased your physical activity. This study; why we should do physical activity, risks of ınactive behavior, frequency of physical activity, benefits of physical activity and suggestions for physical activity, aims to create more active people. A high level overview of the reviews of published literature. A systematic search of Web of Science, Medline, Pub-Med, and SPORTDiscus, Physical Education Index was employed to find all relevant studies focusing on human participants. Search terms included “Active People ”, “inactivity”, " Prevalence of Physical Activity " and “physical activity”. It has been suggested that regular PA health-related diseases have an effective primary and secondary preventive strategy against at least 25 chronic medical conditions with 20-30% risk reduction. Approximately 75% of adults act according to the recommended PA guidelines, while women, adolescents, and older adults have been found to have lower levels of PA-making than men. It was found that there were consistent relationships between PA and motivation, self-efficacy and self-regulation. The PA interventions show that small changes in the PA show a major impact on young people and adults. İn conclusion: In studies related to PA, mechanisms that directly affect health and cause positive results should be determined. The PA dose, scope and validity, which may lead to clinically significant changes in the health status of individuals, should continue to examine innovative behavior modification techniques and also improve the access and duration of PA interventions.
