What is the recommended amount of physical activity for adults to lower ASCVD risk?
All adults should engage in at least 150 minutes per week of accumulated moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous activity) to lower ASCVD risk. These recommendations are in line with those of other health organizations. Shorter durations of exercise seem to be as beneficial as longer ones (eg, 10-minute bouts), and thus the focus of physical activity counseling should be on the total accumulated amount.
