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 not only when weight is lost (e.g., it boosts cardiovascular health, mental health, etc.), so this is false.
• Second option: Exercise does improve health for non - obese people too (e.g., reducing stress, improving muscle strength), so this is false.
• Third option: Exercise can enhance health (like increasing fitness, improving metabolism) even if weight remains stable (e.g., building muscle while maintaining weight), so this is true.

Answer:

The third option: Exercise can improve health, even if a person does not lose weight.
