Integrating vigorous activity into daily life | Prof. Marie Murphy

Live Long and Master Aging

VILPA (Vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle Physical Activity) is a type of physical activity that involves short bouts of strenuous activity. It is opportunistic and integrated into daily life. It can be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, doing squats, or parking farther away to walk more. This type of activity improves fitness and provides health benefits, including cardiovascular health, weight control, muscle strength, bone health, and mental well-being.

In this episode, Marie Murphy, Professor of Exercise and Health at Ulster University, explains the science behind intermittent vigorous movement and how it can help us maintain an active and independent lifestyle as we grow older.

Prof. Murphy is also Director of the Physical Activity for Health Research Centre at the University of Edinburgh.
