Scientists discover that just 4 minutes of intense physical activity a day could help reduce the risk of cancer
Just 4.5 minutes of vigorous physical activity a day could help reduce the risk of some types of cancer, according to a new study released last week.
Published in the journal Jama Oncology and led by researchers at the University of Sydney (Australia), the study followed the daily activity of more than 22,000 people who did not regularly exercise and followed them for almost seven years.
Emmanuel Stamatakis, a professor at the University of Sydney and lead author of the study, notes that although adults who don't exercise have been found to be at increased risk of developing some types of cancer, researchers had not previously measured the impact of forms Less structured from intense exercise.
"We know that most middle-aged people don't exercise regularly, putting them at higher risk of cancer, but until the advent of wearable technology such as activity trackers, we haven't been able to analyze the impact of the short bursts of incidental physical activity that are performed as part of everyday life
