Researchers point out what is the best frequency of exercises in the gym; find out now

Achieving good health results with the practice of physical exercises does not mean being in the gym every day. In this sense, the result of a survey carried out with more than 80 thousand people pointed out the best frequency for your exercise routine.

The study, which was published in the scientific journal JAMA, revealed that quantity is not synonymous with quality when it comes to physical exercise. Also, following a specific practice can be extremely beneficial for the body.

By analyzing the physical activity habits of 89,573 people, researchers identified that exercising at least twice a week on consecutive days prevents heart disease.

The study of physical exercises on consecutive days

The research evaluated the benefits of going to the gym on consecutive days of the week in a practice called “weekend warrior” (“Weekend Warrior”).

In 2018, the U.S. health department

U.S recommended that Americans engage in physical exercise for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity.

So they decided to consider the suggested time of 150 minutes on consecutive days. Then, they used weekly physical activity data and separated people according to profiles: active, regular active and inactive.

Other factors considered for the analysis were age, fitness, tobacco and alcohol use and preexisting diseases.

After evaluation, the researchers identified that "increased activity, even when concentrated on 1 to 2 days per week, may be effective in improving cardiovascular risk profiles."

Therefore, they found that doing physical activities in a concentrated way during the week is just as efficient as having the same activities more evenly distributed. The important thing is to consider uptime and maintain an exercise routine.

In addition to preventing heart disease, the main benefits of having a routine at the gym are:

• Reduction of anxiety disorder;
• Stress reduction;
• Improved sleep;
• Decreased high blood pressure;
• Prevention of cardiovascular diseases;
• Stimulation of coexistence;
• Increased physical strength and muscle mass;

Finally, it is important to remember that each person should seek professional help to determine the best individual exercise plan.

However, the research result points once again to the importance of routine and the benefits of healthy physical activity.
