Structured PICO

Does regular physical activity improve cardiovascular health in the general population?

Population

General public (Americans), including children, adults, and individuals with known cardiovascular disease

Exposure

Regular physical activity (accumulating at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, and preferably all, days of the week)

Outcome

Cardiovascular health and reduction in cardiovascular disease risk

This consensus statement establishes physical inactivity as a major cardiovascular risk factor and recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate daily physical activity for all Americans.
