Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of mortality in Poland and Europe. Despite the rapid development of new treatment techniques and pharmacotherapy, prevention remains the most effective method to reduce ones mortality from cardiovascular diseases. A sedentary lifestyle is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. According to WHO approximately 60% of the world’s population is insufficiently active. There is a big gap between the guidelines of the scientific societies and its implementation to regular life.
