Question

examining the effects of a sedentary lifestyle
what are possible consequences of not being physically active? check all that apply.
□ lower metabolism to burn fat
□ greater risk for heart disease
□ decrease in body weight
□ development of high blood pressure
□ increase in blood circulation throughout the body

Explanation:

Physical in - activity leads to a slower metabolism for fat - burning as muscles are less active. It also increases the risk of heart disease due to factors like poor blood lipid profiles and reduced cardiovascular function. Lack of activity can contribute to high blood pressure as the body's regulatory mechanisms are affected. Inactivity typically does not cause a decrease in body weight (it often leads to weight gain) and does not increase blood circulation (it may decrease it).

Answer:

• lower metabolism to burn fat
• greater risk for heart disease
• development of high blood pressure
