A new study appearing in Clinical Cardiology examines the average fitness level of the morbidly obese (body mass indexes between 40.0 and 49.9). The findings show that the tested population was sedentary for more than 99 percent of the day and, on average, walked less than 2,500 steps per day - far below healthy living guidelines of 10,000 steps per day. The results provide important links between obesity, poor fitness and cardiovascular disease. http://www.physorg.com/news157219241.html Medicine & Health Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:01:30 EST news157219241 While some emerging technologies can create environments that require very little physical effort, one Kansas State University researcher thinks games like Nintendo's Wii Fit can help promote physical rather than sedentary activities for people of all ages. http://www.physorg.com/news150485556.html Medicine & Health Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:32:36 EST news150485556
