Last year, researchers discovered that heavy physical exertion could substantially heighten the risk of having a stroke within just 60 minutes.

Andrew Smyth, professor of clinical epidemiology at NUI Galway, consultant nephrologist at Galway University Hospital, and co-author of the study explained: “Many studies have focused on medium to long-term exposures, such as hypertension, obesity and smoking.”

“Our study aimed to look at acute exposures that may act as triggers,” he said.

The type of stroke observed in the study was haemorrhage, meaning it was caused by the rupture of blood vessels leading to the brain.
