avje delovno aktivne populacije | health of the working-age population 126 cent single centred prospective cohort studies confirmed these results show-
ing significant increased longevity in the physically active group by about 4
to 7 years. This can be converted to the reciprocal value indicating a mortali-
ty reduction with increased amount of activity of about 22 to 40 % (Moore et
al., 2012). These studies also underscore the non-linear relationship of mortal-
ity reduction with amount of physical activity (Class I, Level A, Grade strong).
Training recommendation (FITT): Frequency, intensity, time,
and type
All health related medical and non-medical societies involved in healthy life
style recommend regular physical activity for at least 150 min of moderate in-
tensity on 3 – 5 days a week or at least 75 min /week for vigorous intensity for
e.g. 3 days a week for healthy individuals (Class I, level A) (Figure 1). Longer
duration and intensity of activities may further increase the health benefits
with a lower extent only. Combination of both training modalities are possible.
In general, intensity of exercise is superior to duration of exercise to improve
physical capacity (Table 1). Volume in this context is frequency times duration
and intensity. Available evidence suggests that the total weekly volume of phys-
ical activity/aerobic exercise training can be obtained by summing multiple
daily bouts of exercise, each lasting ≥10 min. Physical activity/aerobic exercise
training should be distributed over most days of the week.
