ACSM Issues New Recommendations on Quantity and Quality of Exercise
Position stand addresses aerobic, resistance, flexibility and neuromotor exercise
INDIANAPOLIS – The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has just released
new recommendations on the quantity and quality of exercise for adults, definitively answering the age-old question of how much exercise is actually enough.
VMove is for everyone, regardless of whether you exercise and how active you are. VMove does not recommend specific activities but will provide some examples of different types and intensity for different settings. You can choose activities that you like and can conduct comfortably within your fitness level. Athletes as well as people with disabilities or health problems that limit mobility can adopt and adapt VMove for their specific needs.
VMove promotes professional physical activity guidelines (e.g. ACSM, The Australian Government and the UK Government) for both exercise and other physical activity.
Caution: If you have a medical condition, please refer to this guidance and also use your discretion to decide on whether and when to check with your doctor before under taking new physical activity.
