For those who are not familiar, exercising feels burdensome. They are just called to be more active in moving after a long time has passed.
Is there a word "late" to feel the benefits of exercise? The good news is that the word is not in the sports dictionary.
No matter how old we start, exercise will still bring benefits to the body. Research at the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has provided evidence of these claims.
Sports studies usually record the level of physical activity of people at one point in time, such as when young, middle age or more. However, NIH post-doctoral researcher Pedro Saint-Maurice and his colleagues wanted to find out whether the benefits of exercise changed if people remained active for most of their lives or grew active or shrunk in time.
"We don't know much about long-term participation in sports. How do you maintain an active lifestyle, or go down and up again, or stay at a low level of activity that has an impact on health risks?" Saint-Maurice said, quoted from Time, Saturday (9/3).
In a study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers asked more than 315 thousand United States adults aged 50 and 71 years. Participants get questions about leisure time activities at four different points in their lives, aged 15-18 years, 19-29 years, 35-39 years, and 40-61 years.
