Health promotion professionals and the medical community have known for a long time that regular physical activity plays a significant role in combating chronic diseases and promoting cardiovascular health. According to a recent study on the actual causes of death in the United States, physical inactivity, along with cigarette smoking and poor nutrition, was rated among the most important lifestyle-related risk factors. Aerobic capacity or cardiorespiratory fitness, expressed as metabolic equivalents (METs; 1 MET is equivalent to the energy expenditure at rest, 3.5 mL O2/kg/min), appears to be one of the most powerful predictors of cardiovascular health and longevity. Multiples of the resting energy expenditure are often used to quantify the aerobic requirements of common occupational and leisure-time activities (Table 1). Healthy young to middle-aged adults generally have an aerobic capacity of 8 to 12 METs. Moreover, a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, and the reduction is greater than that obtained merely by being physically active (Figure 1). Despite three decades of the so-called exercise revolution in the United States, the traditional model for getting people more physically active (i.e., a structured exercise program) has been only marginally effective. In fact, preliminary studies suggest that new members of health/fitness clubs typically use these facilities less than twice per month. In 2005, approximately 24% of U.S. adults reported no leisure-time activity, and only 31% met the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Sports Medicine public health recommendation (i.e., ‘‘Every U.S. adult should accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week’’). Younger people (18–24 years of age) were more likely to meet the recommendation than were older people (§65 years), as were white individuals and persons with a college degree as compared with other racial or ethnic groups or individuals with less formal education.
