More interestingly, their work shows real benefits on heart health, including in less active people who started exercising after the age of 40, provided they sweat for at least six years.

According to the study, in the end, the risk of heart failure was reduced by 23% in participants who reached the health recommendations – either 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, from the first six years of follow-up.
