A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that just 1.5 to 4 minutes of high-intensity daily exercise can significantly reduce the risk of major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE). The research highlights that this benefit is especially pronounced in women.

Heart disease, including conditions like heart attacks and heart failure, remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States and worldwide. Health experts stress the importance of regular exercise and interventions targeting key risk factors to help prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Dr. Rigved Tadwalkar, a cardiologist at St. John’s Hospital, explained that even short bursts of high-intensity exercise throughout the day, which increase heart rate, can effectively manage overall health. “These quick sessions not only reduce cardiovascular risk but can also enhance energy metabolism and improve gene expression,” Dr. Tadwalkar added.

The research team analyzed data from over 103,000 middle-aged men and women, with an average age of 61, using data from the UK Biobank. All participants wore a 24-hour activity tracker for one week between 2013 and 2015. Around 22,000 participants either didn’t follow a structured exercise program or reported only walking once a week, while the remaining participants were regular exercisers.
