It is well known that life lies in sports

.

The British Medical Journal published a study that analyzed the data of nearly 500000 people and followed them for nearly nine years

.

The participants were people aged 18 and over

.

The result was that exercise could reduce mortality

.

Compared with the lack of exercise, aerobic exercise such as fast walking and jogging can reduce the risk of death by 29%, while adequate strength training, such as iron lifting, can reduce the risk of death by 11%, and if both of the training amounts are up to the standard, the risk of death can be reduced by 40%

.

Different age groups, exercise can reduce the risk of death is not the same

.

It’s worth noting that the older the person, the better the effect of exercise

.

For most patients with chronic diseases, the effect of aerobic exercise is better than strength training

.

Especially for cancer patients, regular aerobic and strength training can reduce the risk of death by nearly half

.

The picture is from Netease digital reading, which shows us the power of aerobic exercise

.

Among them, running is the simplest aerobic exercise

.

You only need a pair of running shoes to run anytime and anywhere

.

But if someone thinks that running is boring and a waste of time, he may need to reconsider it

.

As a widely respected endurance training, long-distance running can not only provide physical fitness, improve the basic metabolism of energy by improving the cardiac circulatory system, promote the nutrient absorption of cells and activate the immune system, but also prevent and eliminate many mental diseases

.

Li dezhe, a professor of kinesiology at Iowa State University, has come up with an encouraging result after analyzing the data of various senior runners, runners and beginners

.

People who keep running not only reduce their risk of premature death by nearly 30%, but also bring them more life time than they consume

.

If you run about two hours a week (less than 20 minutes a day on average), you may lose less than six months of your life due to running in the next 40 years, but according to the experiment, another study shows that you may increase your life expectancy by 3.2 years due to running less than six months

.

Minus the time spent exercising, that’s the net benefit of 2.7 years, or, to put it simply, every hour you run can extend your life by 7 hours

.

If we insist on running one hour and increasing our life expectancy by seven hours according to this conclusion, can we not get immortality? Don’t get too excited

.

The benefits of increasing life span are not unlimited

.

Running doesn’t make you immortal

.

No matter how long you run, you can only extend your life by more than three years at most

.

This may disappoint long-distance runners, because even if you do extra exercise, you won’t live longer, but it’s also very good

.

After all, it’s a predictable benefit

.

For these long-distance running enthusiasts and even professional athletes, some people even put forward a sensational conclusion: too intense or excessive running will aggravate organ wear and some physiological dysfunction, and even shorten life span

.

For example, an insurance company in the United States has made statistics on 6000 dead athletes and found that the average life expectancy of these athletes is only 50 years old

.

The main reason for the shortened life expectancy is excessive exercise

.

Compared with athletes who train within 30 kilometers per week, athletes who train more than 100 kilometers per week are twice as likely to get sick

.

I believe many runners will be surprised when they see this conclusion

.

However, although this seemingly scientific answer has a certain influence on the Internet, it’s just catching the wind and catching the shadow

.

First, the statistics are not true, but there is no clear source of publication

.

It’s just an exaggerated rumor

.

And Xiaobian carefully look at some related search items, can find some more reliable and verifiable research results, which is enough to let the majority of long-distance running enthusiasts take a long breath

.

Looking at foreign websites, we can also find some research results

.

The results show that these athletes with high intensity of sports will live longer than ordinary people

.

At present, there is no authoritative research report that shows that long-distance running has adverse effects on long-term health

.

So during the long-distance running, we’d better grasp two points

.

One is to take in a little energy before the long-distance running to ensure normal physical activities

.

The other is to take in some high carbon water, high protein, high vitamin food to repair the body after the long-distance running! Although the correct long-distance running is a good way to keep fit, sometimes we should not care too much about the speed, do moderate running, moderate distance, moderate time, so that we can continue to benefit from the long-distance running, our body can become better and better! As the British Medical Journal said, in addition to running, it is also essential to maintain proper strength training

.

Strength training will make the body stronger and muscles stronger, and it is also the basis of correct running posture and not easy to be injured

.

Only by combining running and strength training, can we gain better body.
