40 pumps for better heart health in men

At the beginning of the study, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, they underwent a physical examination and tests including pumps. Over the next decade, 37 men have had a cardiovascular problem, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure or sudden heart death. Those who had done 11 or more pumps at the beginning of the study were less likely to have had a subsequent cardiovascular problem than men 10 or younger. And the higher their fitness level is, depending on how many pumps they can achieve, the lower their cardiovascular event rate.
