Men who participated in moderate amounts of physical activity, particularly walking and bicycling, were associated with a lower risk of future heart failure compared to those with lower and higher levels of activity. However, recent active behavior may play a more important role than past physical activity, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Heart Failure.
