You guys may like this (or maybe you’ve seen it already):
“While it is well known that physical activity is important for heart health, neither research nor recommendations consistently differentiate between the benefits of different types of physical activity. New research, presented at the ACC Latin America Conference 2018 in Lima, Peru, found that while all physical activity is beneficial, static activities—such as strength training—were more strongly associated with reducing heart disease risks than dynamic activities like walking and cycling.”
Certainly interesting, though it probably wouldn’t change our recommendations to do both strength & conditioning-based exercise for most individuals.
