For optimal heart health benefits, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that adults should get 150-300 minutes of moderate intensity exercise\u2014like cycling, swimming or brisk walking\u2014or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise like jogging, every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers analyzed the medical data and physical activity of more than 17,000 adults aged around 57 years old, for more than eight years and noted 1,233 cardiovascular events\u2014including 874 cases of atrial fibrillation, 156 heart attacks, 111 cases of heart failure, and 92 strokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a strong association between weekly physical activity and better cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
