๐ฒ Wearables Speak: A Minute of Vigrous Activity Is Worth an Hour of Light Physical Activity
Manage episode 512653885 series 2740117
๐ถโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธโฑ๏ธ Not all movement minutes are created equal!
A major Nature Communications study using data from 73,000+ UK Biobank participants wearing accelerometers found:
1 minute of vigorous activity (VPA) = up to 9 mins moderate (MPA) or 94+ mins light (LPA) for reducing mortality, CVD, diabetes, and cancer risk.
This rewrites the old 1:2 rule and urges updates to global guidelines and wearable health metrics.
๐ฒ Time to upgrade from steps to science.
