The cardiovascular benefits of exercise are well established, and individuals who exercise regularly reduce their risk of adverse events associated with coronary artery disease by 50% and gain at least 3 additional years of life. The intensity of exercise required to achieve these benefits is 6-8 METS, which equates to walking briskly or jogging slowly for 30 minutes 5 times per week. Competitive athletes, particularly those participating in endurance events, engage in physical activity at much higher intensities for up to 20 hours per week.
