Those who engaged in three to four bouts of doing 1-minute of vigorous activity accumulated a median of 4.7 minutes per day of vigorous activity and 27.9 minutes of moderate activity per day. They included instances of short bursts of fast walking during a commute or climbing a set of stairs, for example. These short bursts of vigorous-intensity physical activity were considered a part of daily life. But even engaging in the minimum was still significantly protective against heart-related death (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.52-0.86). Again, those that engaged in the maximum frequency saw the biggest benefit (HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15-0.81). But those at the top of the range in this cohort - getting 11 short bursts of vigorous activity daily (about 16 minutes total) - saw all-cause mortality risk drop by even more (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.37-0.72).īeyond all-cause mortality benefits, engaging in just a few minutes of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity (VILPA) throughout the day was also protective against cardiovascular disease-related mortality, the group reported in Nature Medicine.Įngaging in the median frequency of three 1-minute bouts per day was linked with a 49% lower cardiovascular mortality risk (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.35-0.74). GOV.UK also has a number of physical activity guidelines as infographics.Even the minimum of 1.5 minute-long bouts of exercise per day reaped mortality benefits compared with not engaging in any activity at all (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.66-0.85).
