Physiological Benefits 
of 
Physical Activity
 

Physiological effects can be considered short or long-term changes in organs without regard to a particular disease. Some changes can have pervasive or beneficial effects depending on the person. Exercising or conducting a form of physical activity per the P.A. guidelines can help improve the physiological effects that commonly occur in overweight or obese individuals. However, if these positive changes are reversed, it can produce a permanent change to other organs. For example, overeating can cause diabetes, or metastastic cancer. The normal functions of homeostasis  includes proper functioning of the circulation & respiratory system, body temperature, and organs.
