Background Physical inactivity : A leading cause of disease and dis
ability. ( The Challenge of Obesity in the WHO European Region and the Strategies for Response, WHO/European, 2007 )
Approximately 2 million deaths per year are attributed to physical inactivity, prompting WHO to issue a warning that a sedentary lifestyle could very well be among the 10 leading causes of death and disability in the world.
The health benefits of regular, moderately intense physical activity, such as decreased risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases, seem to apply to all people, regardless of their weight.

Bureau of Health Promotion
Background ( Cont. ) Current recommendations on physical activity that enhances
health suggest that half an hour of moderately intense physical activity on most days of the week yields major health benefits for inactive populations. For effective prevention of overweight and obesity, at least an hour of daily activity is recommended.
15 mins a day or 90 mins a week of moderate-intensity exercise might be of benefit, even for individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease. ( Minimum amount of physical activity for reduced mort
ality and extended life expectancy: a prospective cohort study 1996-2008, Chi Pang Wen, et al., 2011 )

Challenge
The prevalence of doing any kind of exercise in past two weeks is about 54% in Taiwan in 2009.
However, by applying the more rigid definition of “insufficient physical activity”, the rate is a staggering 74% !
More comprehensive and intensive strategies are needed to increase nation wide physical activity level.
17
Bureau of Health Promotion
National Goal in next Ten Years Short-term goal ( 2012 ): To raise the prevalence of regular physical activity from 26
% ( 2010 ) to 28% Mid-term goal ( 2016 ): To raise the prevalence of regular physical activity from 26
% ( 2010 ) to 38% Long-term goal ( 2021 ): To raise the prevalence of regular physical activity from 26
% ( 2010 ) to 52%
Regular Physical Activity : 1. Do physical activity 3 times a week 2. Do physical activity for 30 min every time 3.Work up a sweat and pant during physical activity
