How long you live is not as important as the quality of your life while you're alive. Most Americans over 70 can not run or walk fast. Most Americans over 70 can not lift a weight 25 pounds over his head. Most Americans over 70 can not take common household chores, the force, as the setting of a locked door, removing leaves and snow from their driveways or lift heavy objects.
Regular riders can do all these tasks and about 70 more. A study by StanfordUniversities in the Archives of Internal Medicine shows that older people are running and other aerobic activities less than people who run not want to die. Non-runners were more than three times more likely to die as a runner, but the news is not exciting. The most important finding is that older men and women who exercise regularly can not sport much less likely to suffer from any form of disability than people.
The researchers studied 370 members of aRunning Club for people aged 50 years and older, and 249 community members who do not belong to the club running. They were 50-72 years at baseline of 13 years. The runners had much lower rates of death, which was expected, and less disability, such as arthritis, which is awesome.
A 13-year follow-up, and the average age of the club race was 70.9 years and the average age of 73.6 years was tested for the community. The running clubMembers had health problems significantly fewer than non-club members, not the runners were in poor health, for comparison, which seemed to live in another municipality. Furthermore, the rate of progression to different levels of disability was slower in the members of the club racer as much as the control group. The authors concluded that "life, disability, a rate hike may be healthy, in a move until a few years before the death of one, if it develops."
