Answer: Usually age unless its level of fitness but that's kind of vague

Step-by-step explanation:

So I would say age in moderation because if you have like a 20 year old and a 17 year old doing exercise I don't think there will be a big heat exertion illness getting them down but if your health teachers annoying and is talking about a 18 year old exercising with an 87 year old than its definitely level of fitness
