깐데또까
맞아요 평일엔 일때문에 운동할 시간이 없으신 분들도 많아요 주말에라도 건강을위해 운동 해주시면 좋을것 같아요

Research findings are emerging that people who exercise intensively for one or two days a week or on weekends can gain health benefits comparable to those who exercise regularly over multiple sessions.
A recent study has announced that a workout pattern concentrated on weekends can reduce the risk of developing 264 future diseases.
According to a study led by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States, exercising intensively on weekends may have potential benefits in reducing the risk of various diseases comparable to evenly distributed exercise patterns throughout the week.
Generally, it is recommended that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate or higher intensity exercise per week. Researchers aimed to determine whether individuals who meet these guidelines and split their workouts into 20-30 minute sessions multiple times a week experience greater benefits compared to those who exercise over one or two days with intervals of 5 to 6 days.
To this end, the research team analyzed data from 89,573 participants in the UK Biobank study in the United Kingdom. They collected information on the duration of physical activity at various intensities and total physical activity levels through accelerometers worn on the wrist for one week. Based on recommended exercise guidelines, they classified the participants into three groups: those who exercised intensively on weekends, those who exercised regularly, and a sedentary group. Then, they analyzed the relationship between physical activity patterns and the incidence rates of 678 diseases across 16 different categories.
As a result, the group that exercises intensively on weekends and the group that exercises regularly were found to have a significantly lower risk of over 200 diseases compared to the inactive group. Among these, the strongest associations were observed with cardiovascular metabolic diseases such as hypertension (with the weekend group and the regular exercise group having 23% and 28% lower risks, respectively, over an average of 6 years) and diabetes (with reductions of 43% and 46%, respectively).
Dr. Shaan Kurseed, the corresponding author from the Massachusetts General Hospital Arrhythmia Center, stated, "This study demonstrates that a weekend-intensive exercise pattern may have potential benefits across a wide range of diseases, from cardiovascular diseases to chronic illnesses and mood disorders."
He said, "When the benefits of weekend intensive exercise and regular exercise appear to be similar, the most important factor may be the total amount of activity rather than the exercise pattern." He added, "Future interventions are needed to test the effects of concentrated activities for public health improvement, and patients should be encouraged to participate in physical activities that adhere to guidelines in the pattern that suits them best."
=============
It's perfect for busy people on weekdays.
You can exercise on the weekend.
You can't exercise every day.
It seems it's not that bad.
Exercising is better than not exercising.
The most important thing is doing it and being in the process of doing it.
