Explain how the dose-response relationship applies to physical activity and health


The dose of exercise is determined by the intensity, duration, frequency, and type of exercise performed. Epidemiological studies support using physical activity to treat various diseases. As the dosage of physical activity increases, there is an improvement in the health status of the individual. This positive correlation continues as a person progresses from a low to a high level of physical fitness. However, too much physical activity can have a negative impact on health status.
