rv rn w reap health benefits with moderate exercise true or false it is necessary to engage in vigorous continuous exercise to reap health benefits many would agree with this statement but research on physical activity shows that even moderate activ ity done in short bouts of eight to 10 min utes yields substantial health benefits a recent article in the prestigious jour nal of the american medical association seeks to dispel this common misconcep tion the authors whose names read like a whos who of physical activity research make the following recommendation every adult should accumulate 30 min utes or more of moderateintensity phys ical activity on most preferably all days of the week whereas earlier recommendations called for three 20minute sessions of vig orous physical activity every week this recommendation emphasizes the bene fits of moderate activity moderate activ ity is the equivalent of 30 minutes of brisk walking every day at a brisk pace an average adult can walk between 25 to 3 kilometres in a half hour thats about twice as fast as a leisure ly stroll the new rec ommendation also reflects recent research showing how the total energy expenditure is more important than the actual length of f workouts there fore it is possi ble to do a few short sessions of eight to 10 min utes to reap the same health benefits as a con tinuous 30- minute workout this has signif icant implica tions for exam ple it means that since physi cal activity can be accumulated in several short periods it is a lot easier to fit into a busy schedule simple activities such as the fol lowing add to the total energy expenditure walking instead of driving short dis tances a definite plus for the environ ment doing calisthenics or pedaling a sta tionary cycle while watching television walking or running 10 to 15 minutes during lunch hour taking the stairs instead of the eleva tor gardening doing house work raking leaves mowing the lawn without a tractor playing with the children as long as these activities are done at an intensity compara ble to that of brisk walking adequate health benefits will accrue people who prefer leisurely strolls to brisk walk- ing need not worry however the secret then is to do the activity more often for longer periods or both in the same vein of thought individuals who dont engage in any physical activity can begin with a few minutes every day gradually build ing up to 30 minutes a day those who are active some of the time can strive to adopt a more frequent pat tern of physical activity with a little effort every day it is possi ble to
