Okay, so health outcomes that were tracked in this study.

We have.

Do you want to mention the health outcomes?

That's a really important point.

Okay, so I'm going to kind of get into some of these major findings in this study.

And I think before getting into that, I just want to talk about that when we're talking about the minutes to reduce all-cause mortality or cardiovascular-related mortality or cancer-related mortality.

Generally, they were talking about this range between 5% to 35% risk reduction in reducing those mortality rates or disease incidents in the case of type 2 diabetes.

You could go above that, and we'll get into that when we talk about dose response.

But I just want people to kind of be aware of that's kind of like the range that we're talking about here is like anywhere between 5% to 35% risk reduction.

That's great.

Love it.

Okay, so I think the biggest headline from this study was that vigorous intensity physical activity was

it wasn't twice as better than moderate intensity, right?

We're talking anywhere between four times better to almost 10 times better than moderate intensity exercise, which is pretty big.

So first of all, when it comes to all-cause mortality,

it seems as though one minute of vigorous intensity physical activity was equivalent to about four minutes of moderate intensity activity.

So basically, in terms of reducing all-cause mortality, right?

So this is the death from all non-accidental causes, right?

And if you think about that, vigorous intensity physical activity is four times as potent

in terms of, you know, you can get the bigger bang for your buck, four times as potent at reducing the risk of all-cause mortality than moderate-intensity physical activity.
