Gender Differences in Exercise Benefits
Another study conducted by American and Chinese scientists found that women benefit from exercise more quickly and significantly than men. According to this research, men need approximately 300 minutes of exercise per week to reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases, while women require only 140 minutes.
