Doing 30 to 60 minutes of muscle-strengthening exercises weekly is linked with a 10 to 20% lower risk of early death and diseases including heart disease, lung cancer and diabetes, a new study has found.
Now we may know how much time to spend on those exercises, according to new research published Monday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Compared with people who didn't do muscle-strengthening activities, those who did 30 to 60 minutes of resistance, strength or weight training weekly had a 10% to 20% lower risk of early death from all causes, and of getting heart disease, diabetes or cancer at all, the research authors found. These types of exercises are designed to improve muscular fitness by exercising muscles against external resistance, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
