Erwin Loh: Higher-Than-Recommended Physical Activity Levels Linked to Greater Reduction in Heart Attack and Stroke Risk
Erwin Loh, President of Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Zhide Li ang et al., published in British Journal of Sports Medicine, adding:
”Adults should aim to do between 560 and 610 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity to achieve a substantial reduction in the risk of heart attacks and stroke, suggest the findings of an observational study published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
This is between 3-4 times higher than the current public health recommendation that adults do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical exercise such as brisk walking, running or cycling.
People who are less fit need to do slightly more exercise than those who are very fit to get the same cardiovascular benefits, the study suggests.”
