Key result
A 10-week jogging program of 24 minutes/day was not significantly different from 12 minutes/day in improving physiological metrics like Max VO2 and blood pressure, except for residual lung volume.
Why the study?
Does a 24-minute/day jogging program improve physiological parameters more than a 12-minute/day program in men?

Does a 24-minute/day jogging program improve physiological parameters more than a 12-minute/day program in men?
A 10-week jogging program significantly improves cardiovascular and respiratory physiological parameters in men, with 12-minute and 24-minute sessions yielding largely similar benefits.
Wilmore et al. (1970) reported an RCT. Jogging vs. Jogging 12 minutes/day, 3 days/week was evaluated on Physiological alterations (vital capacity, Max VO2, O2 pulse, blood pressure, heart rate). A 10-week jogging program of 24 minutes/day was not significantly different from 12 minutes/day in improving physiological metrics like Max VO2 and blood pressure, except for residual lung volume.
