By Alvaro Exercise must
be vigorous to
extend life,
study finds
CHICAGO (AP) — Run! 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.
