The point at which the dose-response curve reverses remains unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between PA and AF across the full continuum of PA exposure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four databases were searched (from January 1990 to June 2025). Eligible studies included those that reported PA exposure compared against a sedentary control group and assessed AF incidence or prevalence. PA exposures were standardized to metabolic equivalent of task hours per week (MET-hr\/wk). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using a weighted random-effects model. A weighted restricted cubic spline model of logarithmic odds was used to produce a dose-response curve. 37 studies were included (n = 1 298 291 individuals). In the general population, PA was associated with a reduction in odds of AF by 22% (22 studies; OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.68, 0.89). Athlete status was associated with an increase in the odds of AF (15 studies; OR 2.74; 95% CI 1.72, 4.39). Dose-response analysis (26 studies; n = 1 022 790 individuals) showed 26 MET-hr\/wk of PA was associated with the greatest reduction in odds of AF, with doses beyond 78 MET-hr\/wk associated with increased odds of AF; the equivalent of 6\u20137\u2005h per week of endurance training.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
