A new study from the Smidt Heart Institute suggests that men need to spend twice as long exercising as women to achieve the same long-term health benefits, with women being able to "get more out of each minute" of exercise. Regardless of the type of activity, women experienced greater long-term health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes, even when doing less than men.
