Making the exercise sporadically can cause heart problems in people less active, according to a U.S. study. This also applies to those who have casual sex.
Researchers analyzed 14 studies interested in having a risk of myocardial infarction or die suddenly of a heart problem within hours of an activity carried out occasionally. All studies totaling more than 9,300 predominantly male patients, whose average age ranged from 57 years to 63 years.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), shows that people who are physically active are nearly 3.5 times more likely to suffer a myocardial infarction than those n 'make it. This risk is 2.7 times higher among people who have casual sex than those who abstain.
Those who exercised occasionally are nearly 5 times more likely to die suddenly of a heart problem. The researchers did not establish a link between sex and the risk of dying from heart disease .
In other words, although the year - whether physical or sexual - is good for the heart, do so infrequently, but sustained, can be harmful in people who are not in good physical condition.
The absolute risk of suffering a myocardial infarction or die suddenly of a heart during physical activity and sex remains low because their occurrences are infrequent. The researchers therefore believe that, for every 10 000 people engaged in these activities on an occasional basis, an additional hour per week translates into an increase from February to March infarction and sudden cardiac death.
Another result is encouraging this time, researchers have found that for people who engage in physical activity, each additional week decreased the risk of myocardial infarction or sudden death by 45% and 30% respectively. Note however that these results are based on 5 of 14 studies.
For the study authors, these results attest to the importance of consulting a doctor before embarking on an intensive training program where our fitness is poor.
