Does higher physical activity volume and intensity reduce incident cardiovascular disease?
Higher physical activity volume and intensity, particularly moderately intense physical activity, may reduce the risk of incident cardiovascular disease.
Reductions in CVD risk may be achievable through higher PA volume and intensity, with the role of moderately intense PA appearing particularly important. This supports multiple approaches or strategies to PA participation, some of which may be more practical or appealing to different individuals.
