One minute of vigorous activity is equivalent to 4-9 minutes of moderate activity for disease risk reduction.

“The research identified that 1 minute of vigorous activity is roughly equivalent to 4–9 minutes of moderate activity, and 53–94 minutes of light activity, for disease risk reduction.”

“for every one minute of that vigorous activity you needed about um 5.4 minutes of moderate intensity activity.”

“vigorous intensity physical activity in for every one minute of vigorous intensity physical activity you had to perform 7.8 eight minutes almost eight minutes of moderate intensity physical activity to get the same reduction risk reduction in cardiovascular related mortality.”

“one minute of vigorous intensity physical activity was equivalent to about 4 minutes of moderate intensity activity. So basically in terms of reducing all cause mortality right and um if you think about that you know vigorous intensity physical activity is four times as potent in terms of you know you can get the bigger bang for your buck four times as potent at at reducing the risk of all cause mortality than moderate intensity physical activity.”

“So, I think the biggest headline from this study was that vigorous intensity physical activity is four times as potent at reducing the risk of all cause mortality.”

“For all of the main outcomes, including cancer, 1 minute of vigorous activity was equal to 53 to 94 minutes.”
