Key Points

To evaluate the association of different exercise types and intensities with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in men.
Examined total physical activity, running, weight training, and walking in relation to CHD risk.
Analyzed average exercise intensity and its association with CHD risk, independent of MET-hours.
All exercise types were associated with reduced CHD risk.
Higher average exercise intensity correlated with lower CHD risk, regardless of MET-hours.

Abstract

Total physical activity, running, weight training, and walking were each associated with reduced CHD risk. Average exercise intensity was associated with reduced risk independent of the number of MET-hours spent in physical activity.
