Physical activity is known to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and other leading causes of death.

However, scientists have yet to determine what intensity of exercise is effective. Research results published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine show that 10% of premature deaths could be prevented if study participants performed moderate-intensity exercise such as brisk walking for 11 minutes a day; 1 in 6 premature deaths could be prevented if study participants did at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week. This is also the recommended level of the UK National Health Service (NHS).

Even half that amount of exercise (75 minutes a week, or less than 11 minutes a day) could prevent 10% of premature deaths. It would also reduce the risk of heart disease by 17% and cancer by 7%. For people who were very inactive, or not at all, 11 minutes of exercise a day could reduce the risk of premature death by 23%.

Soren Brage, an expert at the University of Cambridge in the UK (co-author of the study), said the results of the study were very useful. He recommended spending more than 10 minutes a day on physical activity, which could be as simple as getting off at a bus stop to walk or cycling home.
