What does participation in MVPA primarily aim to enhance?

Participation in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is primarily aimed at enhancing whole-person well-being. This holistic approach recognizes that physical activity contributes not only to physical fitness but also to mental and emotional health, social connections, and overall quality of life. Engaging in MVPA can improve cardiovascular health, build muscle strength, and support weight management but also plays a crucial role in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, improving mood, and fostering social interaction and community engagement. Therefore, the benefits extend far beyond mere physical fitness, promoting a balanced and healthier lifestyle for individuals.
