每週一次慢跑可延長六年壽命大綱
Jogging for just an hour a week can increase your life expectancy by around six years, reveal scientists.
科學家研究發現，每週慢跑一小時可延長壽命6年。Even better news is that a gentle jog is better for you than any sort of extreme workout, the study concludes.
研究結果表明，相對於激烈運動慢跑更適合鍛鍊者。The results challenge previous studies into jogging which questioned whether it is healthy or hazardous, with the debate kicking off in the 70s when middle aged men began taking an interest in the exercise. However, following the death of a few men who died while out on a run, the media suggested jogging might be too strenuous for middle aged people, casting doubts over the past-time.
此前，人們在關於慢跑對身體有無益處這個觀點上有過爭論。一位中年男子曾經在慢跑的過程中猝死，媒體認爲慢跑對於中老年人不太適用，因爲程度過於激烈。
As part of the Copenhagen City Heart study, a cardiovascular study of around 20,000 men and women aged 20 to 93, researchers set about quashing previous suggestions that jogging is bad for people's health. The study has so far resulted in over 750 papers, and has previously explored associations for longevity with different forms of exercise and other factors. Researchers believe jogging delivers multiple health benefits, improving oxygen uptake, lowering blood pressure, preventing obesity, improving cardiac function and improving psychological function, as well as many more benefits.
之後哥本哈根心臟研究中心在對兩萬名20至93歲的居民進行探訪後得出結論：慢跑能夠增加攝氧量，降低血壓，預防肥胖，增強心臟功能，有益於身體健康。
