Functional capacity, to clarify, is the participant’s ability to complete general life activities, so pinpointing a form of exercise that supports this will naturally bolster quality of life and well-being as well. More specifically, participants who engaged in Nordic walking experienced a 19% improvement in functional capacity, while HIIT garnered a 13% improvement, and moderate-to-vigorous continuous training showed a 12% increase. Bottom line: Exercise is good for your health—a shock, we know.
