Regular vigorous exercise reduces overall mortality by about 20 percent.A new analysis from a prestigious long-term study in the US shows that participating in several sports is more beneficial.
This sport further reduces mortality
This sport reduces the death rate the most
Intense, regular physical activity reduces overall mortality by almost 20 percent.Indulging in several different sporting activities proves to be more beneficial, according to a new analysis of well-known long-term US study data.
The authors of the study in the British Medical Journal stated: "Regular physical activity was associated with lower mortality. Types of physical activity were negatively associated with mortality regardless of overall activity level.
Even a simple walk has a significant impact on mortality
Researchers used the data from the epidemiological epidemiological epidemiological, the most recently called Framingham Study.The total amount of 111,000 participants are the American nursing or doctor.or other health professionals.This proof is confirmed of the subjects for a ten years.Diabetes and Cardiovascular disease at the beginning of learning, and not found Kane Grequency, and the neurological systems.The physical activity is recorded in the beginning and then every two years.
The most important result: In fact, any exercise reduces the mortality of the participants."In 2,431,318 people-years, there were 38,847 deaths, of which 9,901 were from cardiovascular diseases, 10,719 from cancer and 3,159 from respiratory diseases.
Reducing mortality through various sports activities
Thus, the mortality of the 20 percent of the most competitive sports group was reduced by 17 percent compared to the least 20 percent by regular walking.Slow running was associated with 11 percent of deaths.Speed running decreased by 13 percent, cycling by 4 percent, basketball, tennis or squash by 15 percent, stair climbing by ten percent, rowing or gymnastics by 14 percent, and strength training by 13 percent.Only swimming did not have a positive effect on mortality.
Different types of physical activity are associated with better outcomes."After accounting for all activities, participants in the most physically active group had 19 percent lower all-cause mortality and 13 to 41 percent lower mortality from heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, and other causes compared with the least active group," the researchers wrote.
A release from Harvard Medical School said: "The association between a greater number of sports and a lower risk of premature death was evident at all levels of activity. In other words, variety of sports contributed to longevity regardless of the total time participants spent."
The practical benefits of death studies for many people
According to the researchers, the results of the study have practical benefits for anyone who wants to extend life expectancy."People naturally choose different activities over time depending on their preferences and health status. When deciding how to exercise, one should consider that engaging in different types of physical activity can provide additional health benefits, rather than relying on just one type," said Yang Hu, lead author of the research paper.
An interesting graph of scientific work shows the reduction in the risk of death by cause of death: deaths due to respiratory diseases decrease very quickly and significantly by more than 50%.Cardiovascular disease comes in second, with a 30 percent reduction.Curves for most individual sports do not increase linearly with intensity levels of physical effort.In various sports (walking, tennis, stair climbing, strength training), the low level reaches a plateau with high intensity.
