The book demonstrated the considerable health gains that could be derived from regular workouts that emphasized cardiovascular fitness. Other people credit American
22、 Frank Shorter and his gold medal in the marathon at the 1972 Olympics with sparking a surge of interest in running. In the years following his win, a number of books and periodicals devoted to running emerged. Today running is firmly established as both a recreational pursuit and a training tool; i

Each runner should have a specific training regimen tailored to t
24、he individuals goals and abilities.A good schedule for a beginner is to run 20 minutes at a time, every other day. Occasionally, additional time off is needed because of illness or injury. Depending on the length of the break, it is often advisable to work back into a regular workout gradually, rath

Mixing in higher speed workouts is one strategy, but this can lead to injury unless the individual builds up to them gradually. Hill and trail running builds streng

Many areas have a variety of local 5-or 10-km (3.1mi or 6.2mi) road runs. To finish a 5-kilometer (or 5K) race, the runner should

The level of physical fitne

Exercises that demand total body involvement improve and maintain fitness most effectively-for example, jogging, running, swimming, vigorous dancing, cycling, and brisk walking. Normal, healthy individuals may plan their own exercise programs. Th

People with health problems caused by heart attacks, strokes, and illness should see a physician before devising an exercise p

The psychological benefits are also broad, and most studies suggest a positive relationship between physical fitness and mental

The number of calories burned during exercise varies greatly with the type of physical activity, but the key to successful weight reduction is to exercise regularl

Meaningful studies on this topic are very difficult to perform because they require large populations of
37、 subjects and many years of data collection, and because poor health sometimes results in limitations to physical activity. Despite these difficulties, it is clear that regular exercise, along with a generally healthy lifestyle, is beneficial. People who have sedentary lifestyles make up half the po
