Scientists from the University of Sydney found that just four to five minutes of vigorous intermittent physical activity a day can reduce the risk of certain types of cancer by 32%. This activity is equivalent to doing various household chores such as cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, washing dishes. The article was published in: magazine JAMA Oncology.
22 thousand people who wear a tracker to monitor their daily physical activity participated in the research. The study was conducted for seven years, during which time the scientists collected sufficient data on user activities and health status. During the study, more than two thousand people were diagnosed with various types of cancer.
According to the scientists, interval physical activity is somewhat similar to the principles of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in everyday life. This type of activity reduced the risk of all types of cancer by 18%, and only by 32% for those directly related to lack of physical activity.
