Exercising daily is very important for our health and keeps us away from major diseases. Recently, a research has revealed that by exercising on weekends, you can protect yourself from more than 200 diseases. If you are not able to find time for workout in your busy life, then there is no need to worry now. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in America have found that 'weekend warriors', i.e. people who exercise on weekends, can also get the same health benefits as people who exercise regularly.
Researchers analyzed data from 89,573 people's fitness trackers and found that those who did the NHS-recommended 150 minutes of weekly exercise at the weekend had a significantly lower risk of 264 diseases, including heart attack, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and other life-threatening diseases. May be reduced to some extent.
Reduces risk of diabetes, blood pressure
According to research, the risk of diabetes in 'weekend warriors' is reduced by 43%, while the risk of high blood pressure is reduced by 23%. This means that the total amount of exercise time is more important, not how you divide it up over the week. The research also revealed that people who exercised regularly midweek could reduce their risk of heart attack by 35%, compared to 27% for weekend warriors. In the case of stroke, the risk was reduced by 17% among those who exercised regularly, while it was reduced by 21% among “weekend warriors.”
what are the problems?
However, the report also states that not all weekend warriors are able to meet their exercise needs, especially those who are in poor financial condition. People with low incomes are often unable to workout at sufficient intensity, limiting its impact on their health. This study makes it clear that no matter when you exercise during the week, the total time and intensity of exercise is important for your health.
