TL:DR
Exercise is good for you. Working harder for less time is more beneficial than working less hard for greater time.
I didn't see any really new information though.

- jtheory 12y agoThe interesting part for me was the claim that brief, intense exercise was actually less dangerous than low-intensity, more prolonged exercise for the elderly. That's not intuitive, to me -- I would have assumed that old folks should avoid sudden bursts of exercise (as "shaking things up" all of a sudden might provoke a heart attack or stroke). I assume they'd still need to choose their activity carefully to avoid falls (particularly for osteoporosis or other known problems), but that's a separate question, and manageable with a little planning.
