Washington, Apr 25 (Prensa Latina) Regular physical activity supports healthy human functioning. Might climate changeâ€''by modifying the environmental determinants of human physical activityâ€''alter exercise rates in the future. We combine our historical estimates with output from 21 climate models and project the possible physical activity effects of future climatic changes by 2050 and 2099. Our projection indicates that warming over the course of this century may increase net recreational physical activity in the United States.
Activity may increase most during the winter in northern states and decline most during the summer in southern states.
The reserchers took into consideration the exrcise data of 1,9 millon US citezens between 2002 and 2012, and the weather daily data.
