Mercedes Carnethon Poor Quotations

Poor fitness is a direct consequence of physical inactivity.

What this really reflects is that individuals are becoming less physically active, and poor fitness is a consequence of the decline in activity.

This is something that we thought was happening, and that we have been concerned about. But no one had ever documented before how poor fitness actually is across the population in the United States. What we found is pretty worrisome.

The consequences of declines in physical activity over time are now evident by the large proportion of society with poor fitness levels.

Individuals with poor fitness are at markedly higher rate of dying. We should be very concerned about this.
