Science and a proper sense of physical activity – bionicoldGuy

Dr. I-MIN Lee, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical College This video On the channel “Omar VIVA”. Among other things, it is one of the two main investigators in studying the health of the famous women, and it is in a good position to provide knowledge based on physical activity of health. I found her to be very familiar and enjoyable!

My favorite story was to discuss work with one of its legendary guidelines doctor. Ralph Parserables. A epidemic specialist was a pioneer in studying the relationship between physical activity and health, as well as a dangerous marathon. When they attend the conferences together, people ask him about what his last achievements are, and he will quote an impressive time in a modern event. Sometimes they resort to it and ask, “And what do you do to exercise?” She must respond ashamed “nothing.” She had grew up in Malaysia, which she described as very hot and self, which she did not inspire to do a lot of physical activity.

This made her realize that she will get a better work activity in her life to take the results of her research seriously. This makes it an ideal model for those of us who know that we should be physically active for health, but they are not necessarily inspiring to be athlete. She allows her scientific knowledge to show us the appropriate amount and appropriate types of activity to be healthy.

She was pleased to hear her confirmation Typical instructions (Whose research contributed to trying to get 150 minutes of moderate physical activity (such as brisk walking) per week, gives about 90 % of the health benefits. For those who enjoy it, no harm from this amount comes to ten times. But the return on the benefits It only increases marginal after doing the recommended amount. The shortest accumulated throughout the week. So the activity of work in daily life, for example, using the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking about a little away from walking, and the count. And Dr. Lee always takes the stairs. But many people on the ground use the elevator instead, and if it is outside the service, they remain in the hall Sure what to do.

An important point that you covered for those who love their steps is that there is no scientific basis for the famous “10000 -step” goal. Which originated from the marketing company. From the study of women’s health, it has been emphasized that the target of 7500 steps are more accurate (of course there is nothing wrong with 10,000 if you enjoy it, but it is not necessary to obtain health benefits).

This appointed video has not covered the training for the older adults, but I am sure that there is a lot of insight about Dr. Lee’s research. There is a lot of information in the book I edited, Epidemiological methods in physical activity studies.

I am a mechanical engineer born in 1953, PhD, Stanford, 1980. I was active in the CAE mechanical field decades ago. I also have a lifelong interest in external and fitness activities. Both hips have been replaced and the heart valve is replaced by a genetic condition. This blog chronicles my adventures in staying active despite these bumps on the road.
