Whether it’s vigorous activity or muscle building, women can make big gains in longevity while doing about half the exercise men need to do.
But partially because of differences in size, muscle mass and lean body mass, it appears that women can make big gains in longevity while doing about half the exercise men need to do to get the same benefit.
Women only have to exercise 140 minutes a week to lower mortality risk by 18 percent. If women exercise 300 minutes a week, they lower their risk by 24 percent. In the United States, only about a quarter of adults have met the recommended physical activity guidelines of at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and two muscle-strengthening activities a week, with men more likely than women to meet the recommendations across all age groups., the director of preventive cardiology in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai and a co-author of the study, which was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
While the longevity benefits of physical activity for men and women are more similar at a low amount of physical activity, the sex differences emerge at higher doses of exercise, the authors of the new study say.
