Following MVPA Guidelines Provides Greater CHD Benefit for Women Than Men
Overview: MVPA Guidelines and Heart Health New findings published online on October 27 in Nature Cardiology reveal a notable gender difference in how moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) affects coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. While both women and men benefit from meeting MVPA guidelines, the study indicates women reap a larger relative reduction in CHD risk…

MVPA Guidelines Deliver Greater CHD Benefit for Women than Men
New insights from MVPA research: Women gain more CHD protection than men A recent analysis highlighting moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) guidelines indicates that women may reap greater reductions in coronary heart disease (CHD) risk than men. The study, published online October 27 in Nature Cardio, adds an important nuance to how public health recommendations around…

Individualized Walking Cadence Thresholds for Moderate-to-Vigorous Intensity in Taiwanese Obese Young Adults
Introduction Obesity remains a pressing global health challenge linked to non-communicable diseases and adverse outcomes in infectious disease outbreaks like COVID-19. In Taiwan, obesity among young adults requires targeted strategies to promote physical activity (PA) effectively. Recent work suggests that cadence—the pace of steps per minute—can predict PA intensity (measured in METs) and that personalized…

Personalized Cadence Targets: Moderate to Vigorous Walking Thresholds for Obese Taiwanese Young Adults
Introduction: The need for personalized activity targets Obesity remains a pressing global health challenge, with obesity-linked diseases on the rise even in the post-pandemic era. For overweight and obese adults, especially young adults in Taiwan, simply prescribing generic activity minutes may fall short of enabling sustained, meaningful weight management. Recent research suggests that cadence—how fast…

Individualized walking cadence thresholds for moderate-to-vigorous intensity in Taiwanese obese young adults
Introduction Obesity remains a pressing global health challenge, with rising rates of overweight and obesity contributing to increased risk for non-communicable diseases. In Taiwan, obesity among young adults calls for targeted strategies to promote physical activity. Recent research suggests that cadence—the rate of steps per minute—can reliably predict walking intensity (measured in METs). However, cadence…
