The doctor named the best sports to strengthen the heart

Cardiologist Asiyat Khachirova named the sports that best strengthen the heart. Her words are quoted by NEWS.ru.

According to her, such sports include swimming, cycling, Nordic walking and aerobics. “Weight training helps strengthen the muscular system, which, in turn, supports the functioning of the heart,” Khachirova added.

The doctor also spoke about WHO recommendations on the duration of physical activity. “A healthy adult needs at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity,” she added.

Previously, trainers Gulya Zhuravleva and Karina Ryshmanova, specializing in Zumba, named contraindications for practicing this type of fitness. According to experts, Zumba should not be practiced if you have a fever or feel unwell.
