They found:
💡Short bouts of <10 minutes at a moderate to vigorous intensity were associated with a steep decrease in major cardiac events and death by any cause
💡 Moving consistently for at least 1-3 minutes was associated with significantly more benefit than very short bouts
WISH Study retweeted
A new wearables study tracking over 25,000 people provides the best evidence yet that short bouts of incidental activity, the kind we do as part of daily living, could reduce risk of heart attack, stroke and even premature death – but the length of activity and intensity matters
