Footnote: The benefits of physical activity far outweigh the risk of remaining inactive or the risks of adverse outcomes. There is a slightly increased risk of injury or accident in adults who are unaccustomed to any physical activity at all, and in those doing high intensity, long duration activities. To reduce risk, those unaccustomed to activity are advised to start slowly (for example, by walking), and to adapt gradually towards recommended levels. Do not over-exert without sufficient training. Individual physical and mental capabilities should be considered when interpreting the guidelines PROPOSED NEW AUSTRALIAN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY GUIDELINES FOR ADULTS DRAFT ONE – Footnote: The benefits of physical activity far outweigh the risk of remaining inactive or the risks of adverse outcomes.
