- Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is particularly effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVUs) through physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE).
- MVPA as a disproportionate component of PAEE may be a more effective way to mitigate risk than simply increasing the -_ PAEE.
Why this is important
- How intensity and extent of physical activity (PA) are related to KVE risk prevention is not fully understood.
- This study avoided the determination of PAs by self-reporting through the use of a monitoring device.
- The results suggest that there are a variety of flexible sports measures to choose from for each person.
Study design
- Analysis of population-based prospective UK  data; Biobank (n = 88.412)
- Participants wore 7 An accelerometer for days.
- The authors used these data to determine the PA, including the proportion of the PA that was MVPA.
- Result: Emerging KVE incidents
- Funding: Funding by authors
Key results
- Average age: 62 Years
- Median follow-up: 6.8 years
- After adjusting for confounding factors, lower KVE rates correlated with:
- more PA and with
- a higher proportion of MVPA.
- At the same level of PAEE, the KVE risk decreased by 14 % when the proportion of MVPA increased from 10 % to 20 %.
- This equates to a 7-minute quick walk instead of a 14-minute slow walk.
- Both activities result in the same PAEE, but the quick walk is more intense and associated with lower KVE rates.
- more PA and with
- a higher proportion of MVPA.
Restrictions
- Accelerometers are not the right tools to determine training intensity during stationary activities such as weightlifting.
- May not generalizable to other populations
