You don’t have to do it every day to stay healthy. Looks like a moderate and fast-speed activity on the weekend are similar in size of at least 150 minutes health Advantages like spreading during the week.
This adds existing evidence “Weekend warriors”The weekly physical activity includes one day or twice, they have a lower risk of early death than people who do not exercise, and are active all week.
World Health Organization Recommended that most adults are at least 150 minutes of high-intensity physical activity once a weekWalking, gardening or rapid cycling, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous activity, such as running and swimming or combination between the two.
To investigate whether people do differences when people exercise Zhi-hao li In the Universities of South Guangzhou, China, and his colleagues studied data carried out by Biobank in the UK, about 37 and 73 years of physical activity. That is, between 37 and 73 years old. That is, dressed between 2013 and 2015. Previous studies have been based on surveys, in the surveys that may be reliable.
More than eight years of continuation, almost 4000 participants were killed. Researchers found at least 150 minutes of physical activity, but squashed in one day or both, the risk of death from all reasons was 32% lower than that level activity. The death risk of cardiovascular diseases was 31 percent smaller, and 21% lower from cancer.
For people who have expanded the activity during the week, the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease and cancer 26 percent, 24 percent and 13 percent lower, respectively for people with fewer people.
This seems to exercise this weekend better than expanding your physical activity, but there was no statistically significant risk death Those who were more active between the warriors of the weekend.
“This research adds to what we know about the right way to stay assets. This is not a single” good path “, says I-min lee Harvard Medical School. “Whether the one is turned regularly, or whether it includes activities over two days a week.”
All participants lived in the UK and around 97 percent were white, so researchers write additional studies with a wider ethnic range to validate the results and apply general populations.
