Swimming was the most popular type of exercise which is 13.4% from the full participants. Cycling was second with 9.9%, aerobics-type class with 6.4% followed by running or jogging 5%, racket sports 3.6% and football or rugby 3.1%.

All of the calculations were adjusted to account for each person’s age, level of education, body mass index, underlying physical and psychological health, smoking status and drinking habits.

For all six types of exercise, the median age of death from any cause was ‘considerably lower’ for participants than for non-participants.

The study conclude that the pattern was due to the fact that for every sport, the median age of participants was lower than the median age for non-participants and should not be taken as sign that exercise ‘leads to earlier death’.
