The World Health Organization has long pointed to obesity as the biggest problem of the new age. It is stated that the situation will worsen in the coming years if measures are not taken. That’s why experts have been working on healthy and long life for a long time. According to a study, exercise increases life expectancy.
EXERCISE TIME AFFECTS LIFESTYLE
According to a report by Ntv from CNN Health, how much exercise you do may be directly proportional to your life span.
According to data from the World Health Organization, adults should engage in 150-300 minutes of normal physical activity per week, or do vigorous exercise for 75 to 150 minutes a week.
However, according to research, those who exercise more than this given time live longer than those who do not.
COMPARED TO DEATH RATES
Researchers subjected more than 116,000 adults to a study published in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association. The individuals participating in the study shared what kind of activities they have done in their spare time in the last 30 years. Researchers compared time spent and exercise intensity with mortality rates.
ABOVE AVERAGE SPORTS
It turned out that the individuals with the lowest incidence of premature deaths were those who did heavy sports between 150-300 minutes in a week or those who did moderate sports between 300-600 minutes in a week.
These periods, which are much more than the interval of sports time determined by the World Health Organization, revealed that those who exercise more live longer.
INTERMEDIATE SPORT/ HEAVY SPORTS
According to Harvard University’s Department of Public Health, moderate exercise includes activities such as brisk walking, playing tennis, mowing the lawn, while vigorous sports include activities such as jogging, hiking, or playing soccer.
INCLUDE SPORTS IN YOUR ROUTINE
Exercising 10 hours a week may be too much for you. It seems impossible to allocate such time, especially for employees, but some studies show that exercises compressed into the daily routine make sports more permanent in your life.
