4. Figure 3
Health benefits associated with regular physical activity for adults and older adults. The US Department of Health and Human Services Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee rated the evidence of health benefits of physical activity as strong, moderate, or weak. To do so, the committee considered the type, number, and quality of studies available, as well as consistency of findings across studies that addressed each outcome. The committee also considered evidence for causality and dose response in assigning the strength-of-evidence rating.
