A study published Monday revealed a gender gap in cardiovascular benefits when it comes to exercise.

Women are getting more bang for their buck than men when they exercise, researchers said in a new study published Monday.The researchers found that women needed just under 2.5 hours of moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity a week to get the same 'survival benefit' that men get with five hours of physical activity.

'Among the women studied, those who engaged in regular aerobic exercise had a 36% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular issues compared to a 14% risk reduction for men. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States, killing more than 300,000 every year, according to a 2021 study published in The Lancet medical journal.The new study's researchers also looked at the gaps between men and women who engage in regular strength training.
