Summary

Short bursts of vigorous activity throughout the day can significantly reduce heart disease risk, especially for women.

The study found that women who engaged in under 3.5 minutes of vigorous movement daily had a 45% lower risk of heart problems compared to those who did not.

Men also saw benefits, with a 16% reduction in risk for those who logged about 5.5 minutes of vigorous activity daily.
