It has already been suggested to us in A study<\/a> conducted with firefighters that men who can do 40 push-ups in a minute are 96 percent less likely to have cardiovascular disease than those who do fewer than 10.<\/p>\n

Another new study from the University Hospital of A Coru\u00f1a presented at 'EACVI \u2013 Best of Imaging 2020', a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology, indicates that Climbing four flights of stairs (60 steps) in less than a minute indicates good heart health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The study included 165 patients referred for exercise testing due to known or suspected coronary artery disease. Exercise capacity was measured as metabolic equivalents<\/strong> (MET). <\/p>\n

A simple exercise session is enough to protect your heart for days<\/a>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Participants walked or ran on a treadmill, gradually increasing the intensity and continuing until exhaustion. After resting for 15 to 20 minutes, patients were asked to climb four flights of stairs (60 steps) at a fast pace without stopping, but also without running, and the time was recorded.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The researchers analyzed the relationship between the METs achieved during the exercise tests and the time it took to climb four flights of stairs.<\/p>\n

Patients who climbed the stairs in less than 40-45 seconds achieved more than 9-10 METs<\/strong>. Previous studies have shown that 10 METs during an exercise test are related to a low mortality rate (1% or less per year, or 10% in 10 years). However, patients who took 1.5 minutes or more to climb the stairs achieved fewer than 8 METs, which translates to a mortality rate of 2 to 4 percent per year, or 30 percent over 10 years.<\/p>\n
