The advantage of exercising for half an hour every day is to make men live longer, which is better than quitting smoking. The mortality rate of sedentary men in their 70s is 5 1%, while that of moderately strenuous exercise men is only 1/4. In addition, there is a correlation between moderate-intensity exercise for 30 minutes six times a week and a 40% reduction in the risk of death.

The more exercise, the more participants benefit, which reduces their chances of dying of heart disease or other reasons. Through further retrospective investigation, the research team found that people who used to sit for a long time in their forties lived five years less than those who exercised the most.

Extended data:

The researchers selected nearly 6,000 Norwegian male participants born between 1923 and 1932. From 1972 to 1973, I received the health examination indirectly, and I received the health examination again in 2000. Researchers have followed them for nearly 12 years.

The researchers divided them into three groups according to their physical activities. The first group is sedentary men (they sit reading or watching TV for a long time).

The second group is men who exercise moderately (at least 4 hours a week), and the third group is men who exercise vigorously (take part in hard training or competitive sports several times a week). Over 2000 people died during the whole study period.
