3. Introduction
What is exercise? According to the Oxford Dictionary, it is quoted as “activity
requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness” Physical
exercise is important for maintaining physical fitness and can contribute positively to
maintaining a healthy weight; building and maintaining healthy bone density, muscle
strength, and joint mobility; promoting physiological well-being; reducing surgical
risks.
While when people don't exercise, it can become very tired. Exercising can help to
keep a good sense of concentration and be able to deal with stress better. If you don't
exercise, body can become very worn out since aren't having exercise teaching how to
control anxiety levels.
So, for this assignment given by Ms. Ann, researchers had decided to do a survey on
‘Exercise’. The researchers would like to find out whether if male or female have more
exercise. From the given answers and feedback from students based on the
questionnaire, researchers can get an answer to see either male or female have more
exercise. So through this assignment, the researchers hope to find out the answers through the questionnaire.
