MONTREAL, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Even low levels of fitness activity can be enough to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, researchers from the University of Montreal suggest.
In a study presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress, scientists found exercise levels up to 20 percent below the average for healthy people are a sufficient effort to prevent heart disease. The paper is due to be published in the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention.
