defibrilator_18057THURSDAY, May 5 (HealthDay News) — You stand a better chance of survival if your heart stops beating while you’re in an exercise facility than if you’re in another type of indoor public place, a new study found.

Exercise facilities included places traditionally thought of, such as gyms and fitness clubs, as well as places considered alternative exercise venues, such as bowling alleys and dance studios.
