This is very clear from the consistently over 50% level of activity for cardio training for example. It is noteworthy this is the first time activity levels across the respondent base have stayed over 50% for any factor. This leads to the conclusion that the greater the concentration on a given area or specialized fitness program the greater the commitment over time. The fourth question is which type of activity

Lack of physical activity and exercises increase the risk of early death by 23%, hence, showing the significance of physical activity and exercise.

Other studies have demonstrated that exercise can be beneficial for patients with fatigue, but it seems likely that
