Women don't need to run marathons or do intense aerobics to reduce their stroke risk. Moderate-intensity exercise - such as brisk walking or playing tennis - may do the trick, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2014."I was surprised that moderate physical activity was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of stroke," said Sophia Wang, Ph.D., the study's lead author and professor in the department of population sciences within the Beckman Research Institute at the City of Hope in Duarte, Calif.
