Abstract
Physical activity is the fundamental human ability and basis for surviving at all. It can be described by
performance parameters: frequency, duration and intensity. Physical activity is key determinant for
maintaining of good conditions for vital physiological systems, such as cardiovascular, locomotors,
respiratory, nervous etc. The main goal of developing the strategy for physical activity for better health is
to control of noncomunicable diseases. The most important world health organizations (including World
Health Organization, World Health Assembly etc) are united with the global targets to reduce the
prevalence of insufficient physical activity and consecutively increase the level of physical activity. There
are many different forms, kinds and levels of intensity of physical activity. The proper prescribing of the
physical activity should lead to attaining the very important targets: reduction of premature mortality
from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. To fulfill the proposed
health benefits physical activity should be dosed according to individual features and needs. The World
Health Organization and range of other international and national health organizations made a set of
recommendations for different populations group which could help to practice physical activity safely
and with optimal results.
