Experts recommend a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week to promote overall health.
However, it remains unclear whether a concentrated form of exercise such as the “weekend warrior” offers the same health benefits as activity spread out over the week.
In the study, participants were divided into three categories: 33.7% were considered inactive, as they performed less than 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week.
Another 42.2% were weekend “active warriors,” performing at least 150 minutes of physical activity, with the majority concentrated in 1 to 2 days. And 24.0% were regularly active, with at least 150 minutes of physical activity spread over several days throughout the week.
The results showed that both groups of active warriors, both weekend and regular, had reduced risks of heart disease and stroke compared with the group inactive.
According to senior author Patrick T. Ellinor, MD, PhD, interim chief of cardiology and co-director of the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center at MGH, study findings indicate that interventions to increase physical activity, even concentrated on one or two days a week, can have a positive impact on results cardiovascular.
In addition, the team is investigating whether the "weekend warrior" pattern of physical activity might be associated with a reduced risk of a wider range of diseases.
