These recommendations are in line with those of other health organizations.S3.2-26 Shorter durations of exercise seem to be as ben- eficial as longer ones (eg, 10-minute bouts),S3.2- and thus the focus of physical activity counseling should be on the total accumulated amount. Additional reduction in ASCVD risk is seen in those achieving higher amounts of aero- bic physical activity (>300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 150 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aer- obic physical activity).S3.2-5,S3.2-6,S3.2-12,S3.2-14 There is a continued but diminishing additive benefit of further increasing physical activity to very high Specific exercise recommen- dations for the prevention of heart failure may differ slightly because the dose response rela- tionship with increasing physical activity levels may be linear.S3.2-29 3. There is likely no lower limit on the quantity of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity at which benefits for ASCVD risk start to accrue.S3.2-6 All efforts should be made to promote achievement of the minimum recommended amount of physi- cal activity by all adults. However, for individuals unable to achieve this minimum, encouraging at least some moderate-to-vigorous physical activity among those who are inactive (ie, no moderate- to-vigorous physical activity) or increasing the amount in those who are insufficiently active is still likely beneficial to reduce ASCVD risk.S3.2-6 Strategies to further increase physical activity in those achieving less than targeted amounts should be implemented. 4. Despite the focus on moderate- and vigorous- intensity physical activity, such activity accounts for a small proportion of individuals daily time as compared with other forms of activity. Other activity states that comprise a 24-hour period for an average individual include sleep, light-intensity physical activity, and sedentary behavior (Figure 1).
