Regular PA improves health outcomes and ‘adds years to life and life to years’. Historically, moderate intensity exercise has been recommended—in at least 10 continuous minute sessions—to see any real improvement in health and fitness. Previous research has struggled to capture bouts of lighter intensity PA, and this has made it difficult to determine its health benefits. Dr Barbara’s Jefferis and colleagues’ (See page 1013) study is among the first to use accelerometers to examine the association of PA of all durations and intensities to investigate all-cause mortality in British men aged 71–92 years. In older age, any intensity or duration of PA was beneficial; this should help motivate these populations to get active. The Jefferis study will be used in forthcoming PA guideline updates, under … ER -
