What group of people (according to change in level of physical activity) shows the most dramatic changes in risk reductions?

What will be an ideal response?


The use of exercise as a strategy to reduce each type of risk appears to confer benefits according to a dose-response relationship. It's not a linear relationship, but rather one in which sedentary individuals who start an exercise program show the most dramatic changes in risk reductions as they go from sedentary to minimally active; gains in dosage build from there with diminishing returns as a person's activity level reaches the maximum on the continuum.
