Although more is better, up to a point, the current recommendation -- moderately vigorous activity for 30 minutes a day on most days -- reflects recent findings that one need not become a jock to reap many of the rewards of regular activity.

Among men with BMI <28 kg/m (n = 1,851; 48 cases of diabetes), compared with low-active men, those reporting moderate, moderately vigorous, or vigorous activity had an adjusted (model 4) HR for diabetes of 1.12 (95% CI 0.62 1.99).
Moderate-vigorous activity was correlated with reading scores.
Changes between the 2 groups in vigorous or moderate-vigorous activity were not significant.
We combined moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity into a category of moderate-vigorous activity because few women reported spending time in vigorous activity.
Concerning validity, our results suggest that total IPAQ vigorous PA, was a moderately good measure of vigorous activity, having moderately strong, significant correlations with VO2max, but correlated weakly with METs values of 6 or more measured with ActiReg.
Concerning validity, our results suggest that total IPAQ vigorous PA was a moderately good measure of vigorous activity, having moderately strong, significant correlations with VO2max, r = 0.41 (p ≤ 0.01), but correlated not with metabolic equivalent (METs) values of 6 or more measured with ActiReg.
Compared with men reporting no activity, men reporting occasional, light, moderate, moderately vigorous, and vigorous PA had lower diabetes risks: hazard ratio (HR) 0.58 (95% CI 0.33 1.02), 0.39 (0.38–0.39), 0.38 (0.19–0.73), 0.39 (0.20–0.77), and 0.33 (0.16–0.70), respectively; P (trend) = 0.002, adjusted for age, social class, tobacco, alcohol, diet, and blood lipids.
Physical activity scores were assigned on the basis of frequency and type of activity, and the men were divided into six groups: none, occasional, light, moderate, moderately vigorous and vigorous.
Current physical activity was classified into six groups based on exercise frequency and intensity (inactive, occasional, light, moderate, moderately vigorous and vigorous).
