U-Shaped Association Between Duration of Sports Activities and Mortality: Copenhagen City Heart Study.
To investigate the association between the duration of weekly leisure-time sports activity and all-cause mortality. ⋯ We observed a U-shaped association between weekly duration of leisure sports activities and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, with lowest risk for those participating in 2.6 to 4.5 weekly hours, being consistent across subgroups. Participation in sport activities should be promoted, but the potential risk of very high weekly hours of sport participation should be considered for inclusion in guidelines and recommendations.
