Abstract
Adolescent girls today, unlike their predecessors, are being encouraged to exercise— and rightfully so. The inactivity of previous generations has shown that a sedentary lifestyle promotes osteoporosis,1 cardiovascular disease, and obesity, the latter of which increases one’s risks of developing diabetes mellitus, gallbladder disease, and breast and endometrial cancers. A girl who exercises regularly can expect lifetime benefits.
