Dose Response of Incidental Physical Activity Against Cardiovascular Events and Mortality
Any daily IPA amount of vigorous or moderate intensity was associated with lower CVD risk in a dose-response manner. LIPA had weak associations with all outcomes. One minute of vigorous or ≈3.0 to 3.5 minutes of moderate IPA was associated with a similar degree of lower CVD risk. Our findings highlight the potential cardiovascular health value of incidental physical activity, especially for people who struggle to do structured exercise.
