Researchers have developed a new metric using data already collected by your smartwatch that can assess cardiovascular fitness, potentially providing an early warning sign for heart disease risk.

BACKGROUND: Few middle-aged and older adults engage in regular leisure-time exercise. Incidental physical activity (IPA) ...

The human heart beats at variable rates. It’ll slow during rest and pick up during physical activity. You could reach your maximum/threshold heart rate depending on how intense that activity is.

Engaging in physical activity concentrated within 1 to 2 days is associated with a similar reduction in mortality risk as active regular physical activity.

It has been shown to improve resting heart rate and blood pressure and to increase exercise capacity and oxygen consumption. It's increasingly being suggested as a form of physical activity for older ...
