The dose-response in exercise refers to the way in which the body will react to varying levels of exercise to reach a certain outcome. Frequency, intensity, type, and duration of the exercise are all contributing factors to the benefits you will receive from performing an exercise. Meaning we can adjust our workouts in accordance with our goals. For example, if the goal is to improve aerobic output, increase the intensity and duration of a chosen cardio exercise, or perform a variety.
Our bodies change physiologically and psychologically when we exercise. Psychologically our mood is improved. Symptoms of anxiety and depression will dissipate, we become more focused, coping with stress is easier, and we have a greater quality of life. Physically, of course we lose weight, muscle strength and endurance is enhanced, our heart enlarges and becomes more efficient, blood pressure decreases, cholesterol levels are balanced, and the risk for disease and illness significantly decreases.
According to the Physical Activity Guidelines, it is recommended that an individual get a either a minimum of 150 minutes (30 minutes, 5 days/week) each week of moderately intense exercise, 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity exercise, or a combination of both. Be sure to do a variety of exercise as to target all areas of the body. Once an appropriate personal fitness level is achieved, adjustments to duration and intensity can be made to accommodate the continued health benefits.
