1. physical activity like running reduces belly fat but does not lower body fat.

options: true; false

Explanation:

Question 1

Running is a vigorous - intensity physical activity (compared to moderate - intensity activities like brisk walking), and physical activities burn calories. So the correct option is the one with "vigorous / calories".

According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 150 minutes of moderate - intensity physical activity is equivalent to 75 minutes of vigorous - intensity physical activity (because vigorous - intensity activities have a higher energy expenditure per minute). Also, the guidelines recommend muscle - strengthening activities (like strength training) at least 2 days a week, but 75 minutes of vigorous - intensity aerobic activity is not the same as two weekly strength training sessions. So only the first statement is correct.

Physical activity like running, when combined with a proper diet, can reduce overall body fat, including belly fat. So the statement "Physical activity like running reduces belly fat but does not lower body fat" is false.

Answer:

A. vigorous / calories
