The Health Benefits of Exercise and Sport
   
In this day and age, the message of the health benefits of exercise, nutrition and
sport are being widely propogated. The media have taken a large slice of responsibility for this
thankfully. The education system also and of course via sports articles. More and more Doctors are
more often now prescribing exercise as a preventative measure against diseases such as diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. We hope our sports articles and advice on health and nutrition will also
help to get the message accross.
A range of higher degrees specialising in exercise and sport science, physical education and human
movement have further contributed to our collective knowledge of the benefits of sport and exercise
to our health. Recent research has provided compelling evidence that good physical exercise and
sport is positively associated with decreased morbidity and mortality.
The problems most people face is of course today's lifestye. It's so easy to allow ourselves to
indulge a little which generally means a lot. I for one put on some fat (all in my belly) due to my
enjoyment of food. I searched for an found a product that allowed me to eat much of what I like and
removed my fat very quickly. I reviewed the product and if you have a similar problem you too can
burn the fat, feed the muscle. I've included
evidence to support my efforts and you can see the effects both before and after my product
review. (Next week I review a cream cake recipe)
These days most people are aware that regular exercise and/or sport will function to keep the heart
and cardiovascular systems in good health. A large study involving over 13000 men and women at the
Institute of Aerobics Research in Dallas, Texas, found that fitter 40 year olds had a notably
reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease. Further, the study found that there was a dramatically
decreased risk of death or illness from all types of cancers, directly proportional to fitness
level. There have been suggestions that this correlates to the positive effect of regular sporting
activity on the body's immune system.

Regular sport and exercise is clearly important to health, increasing
muscle tone, strengthening the heart, decreasing blood pressure, building bone
mineral density, and warding off diseases such as cardiovascular disease,
osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes. Regular exercise or sport improves feelings of
well-being, decreases depression, aids sleep and increases our capacity to deal
with daily life and life events. Participation in team sports can have additional
health benefits. |
The interaction and cooperation required in team sports such as basketball, touch
football or even team cycling or doubles tennis can promote a sense of belonging and provide a
network for social activity. Even when played at a social level, team sports can be great drivers
in building a person's self esteem, and they provide a positive outlet for energy. Friendships
among teammates can last many seasons and may well stretch beyond the sporting arena. All of these
factors contribute positively to the mental health of participants. But perhaps just as
importantly, the social factor in team sports can encourage individuals to persist with exercise,
motivating them to achieve the physical and psychological benefits outlined above.
With the wealth of evidence to support the incorporation of exercise and sport into
daily life, one must still remember to consult a doctor before commencing any exercise program to
ensure there are no contraindications to exercise. Once underway, the benefits of regular sport or
general exercise will be felt both in the short term and long term.
