The findings, write Andreas Holtermann, PhD (National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Copenhagen, Denmark), and colleagues, support the view that the two types of physical activity actually interact independently on risk of MACE and all-cause mortality, supporting the notion of a “physical activity paradox.”
Holtermann, in an interview with TCTMD, said that he first became aware of the paradox when he started working with labor unions more than 10 years ago. There, it was clear that people in manual-labor jobs, particularly in developed nations, did not seem to derive any benefits from working long days that involved constant walking,
