Introduction

What is exercise? According to the Oxford Dictionary, it is quoted as “activity

requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness” Physical

exercise is important for maintaining physical fitness and can contribute positively to

maintaining a healthy weight; building and maintaining healthy bone density, muscle

strength, and joint mobility; promoting physiological well-being; reducing surgical

keep a good sense of concentration and be able to deal with stress better. If you don't

exercise, body can become very worn out since aren't having exercise teaching how to

control anxiety levels.

So, for this assignment given by Ms. Ann, researchers had decided to do a survey on

‘Exercise’. The researchers would like to find out whether if male or female have more

exercise. From the given answers and feedback from students based on the

questionnaire, researchers can get an answer to see either male or female have more

exercise. So through this assignment, the researchers hope to find out the answers
