TLDR

A user says an observational study linked 12 minutes a week of vigorous activity, such as jogging, to the same mortality reduction as 150 minutes of moderate activity, such as walking. They note that guidelines suggest vigorous activity is about twice as effective, while this comparison suggests 12.5 times. They caution that healthier people may be more likely to exercise vigorously, potentially confounding the result.

@Mangan150Vigorous physical activity (e.g. jogging) of 12 minutes a week yielded the same mortality reduction as 150 minutes of moderate activity (e.g. walking). Guidelines suggest that vigorous activity is ~2x more effective than moderate, but this new study suggests it's 12.5x more effective. This is observational data, so it's likely confounded by reverse causation, i.e. healthier people are more likely to do vigorous activity. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12966-026-01980-34h
