Is vigorous physical activity effective for preventing kidney stones?
This study suggests that VPA is associated with an increased risk of kidney stones, as longer daily VPA duration corresponds to a higher prevalence of kidney stones. This increase in prevalence may be related to the higher urine specific gravity caused by prolonged VPA. To strengthen these findings, future prospective cohort studies are recommended.
