Study Finds Women Can See Greater Results With Minimum Exercise

A research study has found that women can see greater results from exercises than their male counterparts.

According to the paper published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, women are more likely to see greater health benefits with minimum exercise than their male counterparts, who usually exercise more.

Exercise Variability With Gender

The scientific research studied around 400,000 participants and spanned from 1997 to 2017.

It concluded that women who engaged in 2.5 hours of moderate exercise in a week were 24% less likely to die.

Men who exercised for the same amount of time every week were only 15% less likely to die early.

Reasons Not Clear

The study’s researchers told CBS News that the reason for such a variation was not clear.

Maybe it is because of the way the bodies of men and women are built or the way both genders spend their energy differently, researchers said.
