- Study investigates the association between weekend warrior physical activity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- Participants included 8,128 UK Biobank individuals with CVD, categorized by activity patterns: weekend warrior, regularly active, and inactive.
- Weekend warrior and regularly active patterns were associated with lower risks of all-cause, CVD-specific, and cancer-specific mortality compared to inactivity.
- The weekend warrior pattern showed survival benefits comparable to regular activity, suggesting it as a practical alternative for CVD patients.
- Findings support the weekend warrior approach as a flexible secondary prevention strategy for those unable to engage in daily physical activity.
