The effectiveness of a shortterm low-intensity walking intervention on lipid profile in obese adolescents

There is considerable support for shifting the focus away from moderate-tovigorous exercise toward increasing low-to-moderate intensity physical activity. Experimental work has shown !bat low-intensity incidental activity rather than moderate- or vigorous-intensity activity distinguishes the lean...
