Question

1. which of the following statements about exercise is true? exercise improves health only when a person loses weight. exercise does not improve a person’s health if they are obese. exercise can improve health, even if a person does not lose weight

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement, we analyze each option:

• First option: Exercise improves health through multiple mechanisms (e.g., cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength) not just weight loss, so this is false.
• Second option: Exercise does improve health for obese individuals (e.g., reducing risk of diseases, improving fitness), so this is false.
• Third option: Exercise boosts cardiovascular health, mental health, etc., even without weight loss (e.g., building muscle while maintaining weight). This aligns with health science principles.

Answer:

The correct statement is: "Exercise can improve health, even if a person does not lose weight." (The option with this text, likely the third circular option in the image.)
