Thanks to scientists collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data, we know a lot about exercise and how it's good for your health.
Combing through the data, the team – led by first author Mauricio dos Santos, an exercise physiology researcher from the Federal University of São Paulo in Brazil – had a single question they wanted to explore.
"The findings of this large prospective cohort study suggest that individuals who engage in active patterns of physical activity, whether weekend warrior or regularly active, experience lower all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates than inactive individuals,""Compared with physically inactive participants, hazard ratios for all-cause mortality were 0.92 for weekend warrior and 0.85 for regularly active participants; findings for cause-specific mortality were similar.
On the plus side, the findings here involve a huge cohort observed over a long period, which can give us a considerable amount of confidence in the statistics reported.
