Moderate-to-heavy exercise may reduce risk of stroke for men

Men who regularly take part in moderate-to-heavy intensity exercise such as jogging, tennis or swimming may be less likely to have a stroke than people who get no exercise or only light exercise, such as walking, golfing, or bowling, according to a study published in the November 24, 2009, print issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
