IPHAAB-study Influence of Physical Activity on Atherosclerosis Biomarkers

"At least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week. The Recommendations for Adults From the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association clearly define physical exercise intensity levels. The present study follows these recommendations. Consequently, moderate physical activity can be reached by e.g. quick walking, slow bicycling, slow swimming...; it is also possible to reach the expected workload by engaging in vigorous exercise (e.g. jogging/running, quick swimming, playing soccer/tennis...). The gain in performance will objectified by performing a bicycle stress test at the beginning and the end of the study."
