Physical activity saves lives – It prevents almost 4 million premature deaths

According to a new international study by British scientists, at least 3.9 million premature deaths are avoided every year worldwide by physically active individuals. In Greece, it is estimated that 4,600 people aged 40 to 74 avoid premature death each year, by simply remaining physically active. BASE TRAINING SHOWS YOU THE WAY TO SUCCESS PERSONAL TRAINING CERTIFICATION PILATES CERTIFICATION Researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh, led by Dr. Tessa Strein of the First Epidemiology Unit, who published the journal The Lancet Global Health, analyzed data from 168 countries, focusing on the composition of the population of the World Health Organization for aerobic exercise or other moderate to high intensity activity for at least 150 minutes per week or 75 minutes of high intensity. It was found that the percentage of the population that is sufficiently active varies from 33% in Kuwait to 94% in Mozambique. It has been estimated that due to physical activity, the number of premature deaths is on average 15% lower each year (14% for women and 16% for men) than it would be without exercise. That’s about 3.9 million lives saved each year. The benefit is higher for low- and middle-income countries, where an average of 18% premature deaths are prevented each year, compared to 14% in developed countries (eg in the US it is estimated that active physical life saves 140,200 people each year). Physical activity can include gym training, participating in an individual or team sport, cycling, brisk walking, yoga, gardening, etc. Σεμινάρια Πρόσφατα Άρθρα Προσφορές από το ηλεκτρονικό κατάστημά μας Διάδρομος CT87 Περισσοτερα Vivosmart HR Black ΠερισσοτεραSyntha 6 EDGEΠερισσοτεραGoji Berry NLSΠερισσοτερα
