Bone mineral density

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Moderate physical activity has no effect on bone mineral density in humans.

    “Light and moderate intensity physical activity were not associated with lean mass, BMD or BMC.”

Restless sleep

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Moderate physical activity has no effect on restless sleep in humans (B = 0.01, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.03]).

    “Moderate activity showed a small, non-significant positive association (B = 0.01, SD = 0.01, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.03]).”

Sleep latency

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Moderate physical activity has no effect on sleep latency in humans (B = 0.04).

    “Moderate activity showed no significant association (B = 0.04, SD = 0.11, 95% CI [-0.17, 0.26]).”

Mortality

downin humans1HR 0.53

1 study
  1. Moderate physical activity decreases mortality in humans (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.40–0.71).

    “MPA was most protective for mortality risk from FCRMD (0.53, 0.40–0.71).”
