• 2023 National Roadway Safety Awards recognize innovations to protect travelers as pandemic spike in U.S. road fatalities continues largely unabated
  WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO) was honored today with a 2023 National Roadway Safety Award for developing a plan to prioritize making roads and intersections safer for cyclists and pedestrians in rural Cumberland County.
• The Cumberland County Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Action Plan , finalized in 2022, helped local officials secure federal funding to design and implement safety improvements in six busy corridors.
• The roads are in the cities of Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland, where about 77 percent of county residents live.
• Between 2012 and 2016, 536 crashes involving cyclists and pedestrians accounted for 2.9 percent of all collisions in Cumberland County.

• There is very little research on the potential of incidental physical activity for reducing the risk of cancer.
• Incidental activities can include doing errands on foot, work-related activity or housework as part of daily routines.
• In our study out today, we explored the health potential of brief bursts of vigorous physical activities embedded into daily life.

How was the study done?

• Our new study included 22,398 UK Biobank participants who had never been diagnosed with cancer before and did not do any structured exercise in their leisure time.
• Such trackers monitor activity levels continuously and with a high level of detail throughout the day, allowing us to calculate how hard and exactly for how long people in the study were moving.
• Our analyses took into account other factors that influence cancer risk, such as age, smoking, diet, and alcohol habits.

What we found out

• Some 92% of all bouts were done in very short bursts lasting up to one minute.
• A minimum of around 3.5 minutes each day was associated with a 17–18% reduction in total cancer risk compared with not doing any such activity.
• Half the participants did at least 4.5 minutes a day, associated with a 20–21% reduction in total cancer risk.

Our study had its limits

• The study is observational, meaning we looked at a group of people and their outcomes retrospectively and did not test new interventions.
• Our study can’t explain the biological mechanisms of how vigorous intensity activity may reduce cancer risk.
• In another recent study of ours, we found benefits from daily vigorous intermittent lifestyle activity on the risk of death overall and death from cancer or cardiovascular causes.

In a nutshell: get moving in your daily routine

• This is a very small amount of activity compared to current recommendations of 150–300 minutes of moderate intensity or 75–150 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week.
• Vigorous incidental physical activity is a promising avenue for cancer prevention among people unable or unmotivated to exercise in their leisure time.
