- Least fit people need to do more exercise than fittest to get same benefit – study
A study found that people who are least fit need to do 30-50 minutes more exercise a week than the fittest to get the same reduction in cardiovascular risk. The research examined data from over 17,000 British adults participating in the UK Biobank study. The findings appear to challenge previous studies, with some experts calling aspects of it 'misguided'.
