Nothing new here -- Multiple studies are reviewed, combining all their conclusions on the topic of physical activity as it relates to longevity. Comes complete with graphs, colors and fonts for emphasis.
"Summary:
- Physical fitness is the single best predictor of life expectancy and healthspan. Try to achieve and maintain a high level of physical fitness throughout life.
- More is better for moderate-intensity exercise with respect to CV health and life expectancy. Vigorous exercise is also beneficial for optimizing life expectancy and healthspan, but maximal benefits are achieved at 150 minutes/week.
- HIIT is a time-efficient strategy for attaining and maintaining high-level CRF. Regular participation in team sports or other forms of physical interactive play is associated with good mental health and longevity.
- Shoot for at least two hours/week spent outdoors in natural settings (green spaces or blue spaces). Gardening and adopting a dog are practical strategies for accomplishing this goal.
- Aim for two sessions/week of strength training for a cumulative time of about 40 to 60 mins/week, ideally not exceeding 150 mins/wk.
- Incorporate flexibility and balance training sessions like yoga or tai chi.
- Allow ample time for rest, relaxation, recovery, and sleep after strenuous exertion."
