A recent study published in JAMA Oncology suggests that engaging in just four to five minutes of "vigorous physical activity" can significantly reduce the risk of cancer among individuals who have previously been inactive.
Researchers at the University of Sydney, Australia, conducted this study by analyzing data from 22,398 adults with an average age of 62, who had not been regularly exercising. These participants wore activity trackers for a week, and their health outcomes were monitored over several years, including cancer-related diagnoses, hospitalizations, and deaths.
