"For an average of 12 years, the researchers tracked the participants' heart health to determine how many developed an irregular heart rhythm, also known as atrial fibrillation, which is a known stroke risk factor. Results showed that men who exercised intensely for more than 5 hours a week were 19% more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat by 60 years of age, compared with those who exercised less than 1 hour a week. However, those who did slightly less-intense exercises - such as cycling or briskly walking - for an hour a day or more at the age of 60 were 13% less likely to develop an irregular heartbeat than those who did not exercise at all."
