Less than five minutes of brief bouts of exertion in everyday life could have a significant effect on heart health, researchers found.

The study used data from 81,052 middle-aged people taking part in the UK Biobank study.

Women who recorded a daily average of 3.4 minutes of intense activity but reported no formal exercise were 45% less likely to have a heart attack, stroke or heart failure.
