Abstract
The link between physical activity and CHD was first established in the early 1950s and since this time population
studies have consistently found high levels of physical activity to be associated with reduced risk of CHD morbidity
and mortality. Reports evaluating the results of several populations studies have concluded that inactive individuals
are about twice as likely to develop CHD as their active counterparts.
