“…individuals exercising 15 minutes a day at a moderate intensity had a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and a 3-year longer estimated life expectancy compared with their inactive peers.”
“Every additional 15 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity was associated with a 4% further reduction of all-cause mortality over 13 years in the Taiwanese populations.”
“Potential Harmful Doses of Physical Activity. The curvilinear relationship between physical activity and health does not include an upper limit, but suggest that the reduction in risk for each increase in activity is smaller at higher doses.”
“First, high doses of strenuous or vigorous physical activity are not associated with increased mortality in healthy individuals, but may attenuate the health benefits associated with physical activity. Second, high doses of daily physical activity well above the physical activity recommendations are slightly, but significantly, associated with increased mortality risk in patients with cardiovascular disease. Patients with cardiovascular disease are recommended to follow the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines, which prescribe 30 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise 5 to 7 days a week, supplemented by an increase in daily lifestyle activities (eg, walking at work, gardening, and household work). These physical activity doses are proven to be an effective intervention for the prevention of future morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease.“
“There is no known upper limit for moderate-intensity physical activity in healthy individuals, but doses more than 100 minutes a day do not appear to be associated with additional reductions in mortality rates. For vigorous physical activity, low doses are related to large benefits, whereas doses up to 10 times the recommended physical activity levels are not associated with further reductions in mortality rates.”
