J INTERN MED: The relationship between muscle strengthening activities and the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and death

The benefits of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise (MVPA) for major non-communicable diseases (NCD) have been recognized

Recently, a research article was published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, an authoritative journal in the field of internal medicine.

The current epidemiological evidence, carried out 1-2 times a week (or about 60-150 minutes) muscle strengthening activity and heart vascular disease (7 studies; reduced by about 20-25%), type 2 diabetes (4 Research; reduced by approximately 30%), cancer mortality (4 studies; reduced by approximately 15-20%), and all-cause mortality (6 studies; reduced by approximately 20-25%)

For diabetic patients, even with higher levels of muscle strengthening activity, the risk seems to be further reduced, but some studies on cardiovascular and overall mortality are on the contrary, higher levels have less benefit (≥2.

Although the data is limited, it is recommended to be cautious when training more than 2.
