Nope, lifting weights does not do much good at all for our cardiovascular health.
2.
Yes, lifting weights have been shown to have a tremendously positive impact on our cardiovascular health in several independent, of each other, studies.
No matter if you are in perfect heart health and condition today, or if you have suffered heart-related issues previously, or suffer from obesity or diabetes it´s been laid perfectly clear in several studies last few years that lifting weights on a regular weekly basis carries with it an incredibly positive impact for reducing cardiovascular-related mortality.
And the latest study, which followed roughly 12 000 people and was published October 2018 is no different. Revealing as much as a 70% reduced risk for cardiovascular mortality if you lift weights on a regular weekly basis.
This study 'Associations of Resistance Exercise with Cardiovascular Disease Morbidity and Mortality'. Was published in 'Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise', October 29, 2018 and you can find the link down below.
