The many benefits of sport and exercise of all kinds are well known. There are countless scientific studies, books, newspaper articles and even entire special editions of Der Spiegel and Focus describing the benefits of more exercise and more muscle on lifespan, quality of life and even intelligence.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/profheinen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PAG_Advisory_Committee_Report-2018.pdf\">In 2018, a high-caliber advisory committee<\/a> submitted a 770-page report to the US Department of Health and Human Services on the relationship between sport and exercise on the one hand and health and brain function on the other. On this basis, the US Department of Health and Human Services issued its <a href=\"https:\/\/profheinen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Physical_Activity_Guidelines_2nd_edition.pdf\">recommendations on the minimum requirements<\/a> for exercise.<\/p><p>The pages of this website were initially based primarily on the <a href=\"https:\/\/profheinen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/paguide2008.pdf\">previous version<\/a> of the recommendations of the Expert Commission, but have recently been supplemented with additional aspects from the more recent version.<\/p><p>A lack of exercise and therefore dramatically lower calorie consumption is the main cause of the epidemic-like increase in obesity with all its consequences. If we move very little, then we can also eat very little!<\/p><p>Our fellow citizens sit in front of the television or computer for more than 5 hours a day; the main reason for the lack of time that could be used for exercise. If lessons are missed at school, then it should most likely be school sport, which is not that important. When will secondary school teachers in particular stop thinking that learning subjects are so much more important than sport? (The colleague is only a PE teacher!) And when will the flood of medical certificates that certify that children are unfit for school sports subside?<\/p><p>This chapter highlights the consequences of a lack of exercise and reduced physical performance. Perhaps all the major programs run by health insurance companies, the World Health Organization and others will at least succeed in slowing down the current drift towards an extremely sedentary society. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if our children and grandchildren could all jump rope and climb again or play a sport in a club! It must not be the case that parents&#8217; education determines children&#8217;s ability to exercise to the extent that it does today.
