4 or 5-minute bouts of intense exercise may slash cardiovascular risk

The article from Medical News Today discusses a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, which suggests that engaging in short, intense bursts of exercise, specifically 4 to 5 minutes in duration, can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. These brief, vigorous activities, which can be as simple as running for the bus or playing high-energy games with children, were found to lower the risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. The study analyzed data from over 25,000 adults and found that these short bursts of activity could decrease the risk of cardiovascular events by up to 50% compared to those who did not engage in such activities. The research highlights the potential health benefits of integrating small amounts of vigorous physical activity into daily life, even for those who might not have time for longer exercise sessions.
