Physical activity in older age: perspectives for healthy ageing and frailty (2016, background): “regular vigorous compared with moderate intensity exercise (Swain and Franklin 2006).”
Physical activity and public health: updated recommendation for adults from the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association. (2007, background): “Based on recent data, there is some indication that vigorous-intensity activities may have greater benefit for reducing cardiovascular disease and premature mortality than moderate-intensity physical activity, which is independent of their contribution to energy expenditure (35,61,66).”
Physical activity for health: What kind? How much? How intense? On top of what? (2011, background): “A recent review comparing the cardioprotective benefits of vigorous- and moderate-intensity aerobic activity concludes that “vigorous activity appears to convey greater cardioprotective benefits” than does moderate intensity activity (88).”
