The answer is the first one: 1000 kcal/week.

Explanation for each option:

  1. 1000 kcal/week: This is the correct answer. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends a minimum of 1000 kcal/week of energy expenditure through aerobic exercise for health benefits.

  2. 300 kcal/week: This is incorrect. 300 kcal/week is below the recommended minimum for significant health benefits according to ACSM guidelines.

  3. 500 kcal/week: This is also incorrect. While 500 kcal/week is better than 300 kcal/week, it still falls short of the ACSM's recommended minimum of 1000 kcal/week.

  4. 3000 kcal/week: This is incorrect as a minimum recommendation. While 3000 kcal/week can provide additional health benefits, it is not the minimal recommendation set by the ACSM.

In summary, the ACSM recommends a minimal aerobic exercise volume of 1000 kcal/week for health benefits.
