Are you getting enough exercise to maximize the health benefits? Find out what the latest research says, according to ckbergland
A recent analysis of data from 116,221 adults who participated in two longitudinal studies conducted over 30 years found that people who performed double—or up to four times—the minimum recommended dose of moderate or vigorous physical activity lived longer.
A Metabolic Equivalent Task unit gauges the amount of energy required to perform different tasks or physical activities at varying intensities. For example, sitting in a chair uses one MET, walking at three miles per hour uses about four METs, and slow jogging uses about six METs. However, the latest peer-reviewed analysis found that doing two to four times more than the recommended weekly exercise guidelines doesn't increase someone's risk of atrial fibrillation, coronary artery calcification, myocardial fibrosis, or sudden cardiac death.
"No harmful cardiovascular health effects were found among the adults who reported engaging in more than four times the recommended minimum activity levels," the authors note. But, they add a caveat:"However, among those who reported ≥300 min/wk of long-term leisure-time MPA, additional leisure-time VPA did not appear to be associated with lower mortality beyond MPA."
