Real Meaning Of "exercise" ?

[nullx8]

hey there,

shoer question: how do you think about sport in general directly reflecting to a better health and/or longer live ?

as we are in thailand here, and poples are quite professional in doing pretty much nothing.

does this not proof a theory that physical activities may make human stronger, but not really extend live ?

just personal couriousity

Mmmmmmm. I think it is pretty much certain that an individual who undertakes a reasonable amount of physical activity will have a longer life expectancy than if he or she is inactive.

Of course, we are all different, so there will be instances of people who live to 110 and claim not to have done an hour's exercise in their lives, and people who do a lot of exercise and die young.

However, so many studies have been done about the benefits of exercise (and physical activity in general) and the dangers of physical inactivity, that only a fool would disregard the statistical proofs.
