Introduction
An adult who exercises on weekends, >= 150 minutes/week of moderate-intensity exercise or >= 75 minutes/week of vigorous exercise from 1 or 2 sessions.
Clinical significance
- individuals who engage in active patterns of physical activity, whether "weekend warrior" or regularly active, experience lower all-cause & cause-specific mortality rates than inactive individuals[2]
- "weekend warriors" have reduced risk in all-cause mortality (~30%), cardiovascular mortality (~40%) & cancer mortality (14-21%) (slighly less risk reduction than with regular exercise)[1]
- weekend warriors" concentrating exercise into 1-2 days/week may improve cardiovascular risk profiles[3]
- "weekend warrior" activity pattern is associated with lower risks of dementia, stroke, Parkinson's disease, depression & anxiety vs a regularly active pattern[4]
