- The study investigates the association between physical activity patterns and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in overweight or obese adults.
- Data from 49,368 UK Biobank participants categorized into inactive, regularly active, and concentrated activity groups were analyzed.
- Both concentrated activity (1-2 days/week) and regularly active patterns showed similar CVD risk reduction compared to inactive individuals.
- Reductions in overall CVD, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and stroke risks were observed in active groups.
- Concentrated MVPA over 1-2 days was as effective as regularly distributed activity in reducing CVD risk in overweight/obese individuals.
