A new study by Cedars-Sinai investigators has found that women can achieve the same cardiovascular gains as men by exercising less often.
The study looked at data from over 400,000 adults and found that women who exercised moderately for 2.5 hours per week had the same mortality risk reduction as men who exercised for 5 hours per week.
The researchers also found that women who did muscle-strengthening activities one time per week had the same benefit as men who did them three times per week.
The study’s findings could have a significant impact on public health recommendations for exercise. Current guidelines recommend that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week.
The new study suggests that women may be able to achieve the same health benefits with less exercise.
The study’s authors say that their findings could help motivate women to start exercising more. Many women are discouraged from exercise because they believe they need to spend a lot of time doing it.
The new study shows that women can get the same health benefits as men with less effort.
The study’s findings are also important for public health officials. Public health officials often develop exercise recommendations based on studies that have included mostly men.
The new study suggests that these recommendations may not be appropriate for women. Public health officials may need to develop new exercise recommendations that are specifically tailored to women.
The study’s findings are also important for doctors. Doctors often counsel their patients about exercise. The new study suggests that doctors may need to counsel their female patients differently than their male patients.
Doctors may need to tell their female patients that they can get the same health benefits as men with less exercise.
The study’s findings are a significant step forward in our understanding of how exercise affects men and women.
The study’s findings could have a major impact on public health recommendations for exercise. The study’s findings could also help motivate more women to start exercising.
