Intermittent Activity Reduces Cancer Risk in Non-Exercisers

JAMA Network

About The Study: The results of this study of 22,000 non-exercising adults indicate that small amounts of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity were associated with lower incident cancer risk. Daily vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity may be a promising intervention for cancer prevention in populations not able or motivated to exercise in leisure time.
