Obese Women Only Get One Hour of Vigorous Exercise a Year: Study

A surprising new study shows that obese U.S. men get less than four hours of vigorous exercise a year, while obese American women partake in only one hour annually.

.

The statistics, which were calculated from a nationally-representative pool of about 2,600 adults between the ages of 20 and 74, showed that there was a vast need for an improvement in physical activity in this weight group.

.

"They're living their lives from one chair to another," study author Edward Archer, a research fellow with the Nutrition Obesity Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, told HealthDay. "We didn't realize we were that sedentary. There are some people who are vigorously active, but it's offset by the huge number of individuals who are inactive."

.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults get at least 75 minute of vigorous-intensity exercise a week in addition to muscle strengthening activities twice a week. Activities that fall under this category include jogging, running, swimming laps, riding a bike fast on hills, playing singles tennis or playing basketball.

.

People can also opt to participate in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly in lieu of the more vigorous activities, per the recommendations. Those activities include walking fast, doing water aerobics, riding a bike on flat ground, playing doubles tennis or pushing a lawn mower.

.

Archer expressed concern that most people were living relatively unfit lives.

Abstract

Objective

To validate the PAR protocol, a novel method for calculating population-level estimated energy requirements (EERs) and average physical activity ratio (APAR), in a nationally representative sample of US adults.

Conclusion

The PAR protocol is an accurate method for deriving nationally representative estimates of EER and APAR values. These descriptive data provide novel quantitative baseline values for future investigations into associations of physical activity and health.
