Researchers suggest ‘sex-specific strategies’ after analysis of cardiovascular health improvements
Men may need to exercise twice as much as women to achieve the same reduction in coronary heart disease risk, according to researchers, who say healthy living guidelines should take account of the sex differences.
Scientists analysed physical activity records from more than 80,000 people and found that the risk of heart disease fell 30% in women who clocked up 250 minutes of exercise each week. In contrast, men needed to reach 530 minutes, or nearly nine hours, a week to see the same effect.
The study builds on previous work that suggests women benefit more than men from the same amount of exercise, but that women are generally less physically active and less likely to meet recommended exercise targets.
“Available”
Just because I’m literally existing doesn’t mean that time is available.
I didn’t use the word available? Who are you quoting??
If your existence doesn’t allow for you to have time to move your body, than maybe you should reevaluate how you are existing. How many hours of tv and movies do you watch and how many hours of video games do you play every week?
You’re not going to convince lazy people to get up and move so don’t bother. It’s not worth the headache to argue with them about something that’s good for them.
