Research Finds Link Between Weekend Warrior Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Disease
JAMA Network
About The Study: In an analysis of 89,000 individuals providing a week of accelerometer-based physical activity data, a weekend warrior pattern of physical activity (i.e., most moderate to vigorous physical activity achieved over 1-2 days) was associated with similarly lower risks of incident atrial fibrillation, heart attack, heart failure, and stroke compared with more evenly distributed physical activity.
