It's saying the previous recommendations were 1000 calories a week. This study found that a 45 min workout using 631 kcal produced similar cardiovascular benefits. But yes, 631 kcal during a 45 min high intensity workout is still quite a lot.
- 0xcde4c3db 3y agoYes, it is quite a lot. The average American would probably need months of training to even be able to complete such a workout.
- version_five 3y agoYeah that's somewhere between a 5km and 10km run. If you're in shape to pick up and do that once a week, you're in better shape than most people and so it's not really a surprise that such people have lower cardiovascular mortality.
- pc86 3y agoI'm not sure I would agree that most people are physically incapable of running 3 miles once a week. Unless you've got a physical disability or some very bad respiratory ailment you can do that in well under 40 minutes at a pace barely faster than walking.
