A recent study conducted in the US has shown that sudden bursts of physical activity, for example sex, can lead to a significant increase in the risk of having a heart attack. Physical exertion like sex or jogging has, in particular just after such an activity has been found to increase the likelihood of a cardiac complication. But don't freak out yet, those who are healthy and get regular exercise and have a healthy balanced diet are significantly less likely to have a heart as a result of sex. The study did however find that taking a sample of 1000 people and looking at whether or not they had suffered a heart attack in the last year and correlating that with whether or not they were engaging in physical or sexual activity at the time found that between 1 and 2 cases were associated with such factors. So what does it all mean, well if your worried get up off your ass and start exercising more, the age old adage.
