 Considerations prior to exercise

 Although physical exercise is considered a positive and healthy phenomenon, one must consider how much physical exercise is healthy for health and what exercise should be practiced.

 A generalized idea that is quite incorrect about the practice of physical exercise, which sometimes seems implicitly detached from the benefits that are proclaimed at the popular level on health, is that these positive effects are produced merely by their practice, without explaining precisely what the contents, volume and intensity of said practice should be, according to the characteristics and circumstances of the individual, which are the factors that must be specified in a prescription.

 Simplistically, there is a belief that the more physical exercise is performed, the greater the benefits in terms of health and body image. Therefore, incorrect topics such as sports have been created.
