And I think it is important to point out like physical activity versus exercise, because people do typically when they think when they hear even physical activity, they think, you know, structured exercise.
It's a very I think a very common thought is structured exercise is physical activity, but it's not necessarily structured exercise includes it.

Like this is all physical activity.
And that's what this is all capturing.
Right, right.
Okay, so health outcomes that were tracked in this study.
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.
Okay, so I think the biggest headline from this study was that vigorous intensity physical activity was
