Sports medicine is generally recognized as a specialty in the field of musculoskeletal medicine and encompasses the prevention and treatment of injuries related to sports and exercise. Additionally, sports medicine plays a role in our daily life, as it is important for maintaining our physical and mental health and preventing the onset of lifestyle-related diseases. Approximately 2400 years ago, the Greek doctor and philosopher Hippocrates stated that “walking is the best medicine”. I aim review the trends in insufficient physical activity among Japanese people and the intensity and amount of exercise required to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
