No, walk. No, run! The latest in a spate of seemingly conflicting studies says that to live longer, you must exercise vigorously, not just moderately. Lately, many exercise advo cates, including the governmen t’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have been pushing moderate activity. But that won’t boost longevi ty, judging from 26 years of data on 17,321 healthy male Harvard alumni who graduated between 1924 and 1954, researchers re port in Wednesday’s issueof The Journal of the American Medical Association. “We found that only vigorous exercise was associated with lower mortality, and nonvigor- ous exercise did not at all re duce mortality rates,” said Dr. I- Min Lee, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard and lead author of the study. Vigorous exercise was de fined as any exertion that re quired at least six times as much energy as resting. That included walking 4 to 5 mph, jogging, swimming laps, play ing tennis or even doing heavy chores around the yard — if they truly were heavy chores, like building stone fences, and “not just puttering around," Lee said. The study did not spell out exactly how much of any specific activity would constitute vigor ous exercise. Rather, the study said the most active group of men burned 12,600 to 14,700 calories a week. That’s equivalent to walking briskly 4 to 5 mph for 45 minutes a day, five days a week, Lee said. She hastened to add that mod erate exercise has many other benefits — improving quality of life, promoting physical well-be ing, enhancing the ability of older people to accomplish daily tasks, regulating blood pressure and averting diabetes. “I don’t want to dissuade couch potatoes from exercis ing,” Lee added by telephone Tuesday. “I strongly believe that any exercise is better than no exercise. But for persons who can exer cise at a higher level, why not do that? Because our data indi cate they might live longer than other people.” In the study, the most active group of men had a 25 percenl lower risk of dying over the 2f years than the least active men Lee said. The difference in risk was calculated after adjusting foi differences that might have af fected risk — age, smokinj habits, high blood pressure, dia betes and the early death o one’s parents. A 25 percent reduction ir death risk equals the differena in risk between a pack-a-daj smoker and a nonsmoker, or be tween a person who is 20 per cent overweight and a person o: ideal weight, she said.
