NY Times: For Some, Exercise May Increase Heart Risk.

Authors of the study say people should continue to exercise as before, but might also consider getting their heart disease risk factors checked on a regular basis. No intervention, including drugs, works for everyone, Dr. Kraus said. So it should not be surprising that exercise does not work for some.

"I am an exercise guy; I believe in exercise for health,” Dr. Kraus said. "I would rather have everyone exercise. But you can't ignore the data.”

Still, he added, even if someone does not get the expected benefit in some heart risk factors, there are other reasons to exercise: for mental health and to improve physical functioning.

And while the researchers would like to spare people from adverse exercise effects, Dr. Bouchard said, "It is not possible yet to make more specific recommendations because we do not understand why this is happening.”

Food for thought, eh?

"...you can't ignore the data." Now, those are words to live by!
