Info

The evidence that habitual moderate-to-vigorous physical activity reduces the risk of excessive weight gain, animportant risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea, suggests that physical activity could have a favorable impacton the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea.The number of hours before bedtime at which the activity is performed does not matter. Benefits are similarfor physical activity performed more than 8 hours before bedtime, 3 to 8 hours before, and less than 3 hoursbefore bedtime.CancerPhysically active adults have a significantly lower risk of developing several commonly occurring cancers, aswell as lower risk of several other cancers. Research shows that adults who participate in greater amountsof physical activity have reduced risks of developing cancers of the:• Bladder;• Breast;• Colon (proximal and distal);• Endometrium;• Esophagus (adenocarcinoma);• Kidney;• Lung; and• Stomach (cardia and non-cardia adenocarcinoma).These effects appear to apply to both men and women, regardless of weight status. Benefits for cancersurvivors are shown in Table 2-4.People With Chronic Health Conditions and DisabilitiesRegular physical activity provides important health benefits for adults with chronic health conditions. As seenin Table 2-4, benefits exist for cancer survivors and people with osteoarthritis, hypertension, type 2 diabetes,dementia, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and other cognitive disorders.42 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
