Exercise and Heart Risk: New Study Reveals Key Difference Between Men and Women
Men need almost twice as much exercise as women to lower their risk of heart disease, according to recent research findings.
General guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week, combined with muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week for men and women aged 16 to 64.
However, a new UK study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research suggests that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach is not the best bet, as the relationship between exercise and heart health can differ between men and women.
We often think of exercise recommendations as the same for everyone, but that’s not true.
This study highlights the importance of tailored exercise recommendations for men and women to reduce heart risk.
Author's summary: Men need more exercise than women to reduce heart risk.
