Benefits of physical activity on Health

Physical activity is associated with lower mortality in both
men than in women. This is demonstrated in numerous studies
dealing specifically with different age, a gender or a
specific socio-professional class. A Danish study seems
particularly suitable for this early chapter: it has tracked 30,640
people, men and women aged 20 to 93 years, on an average
5.14 years. It sought to observe the relationship between mortality,
all causes, and physical activity in leisure, occupational,
sports, and related to transport (to cycle). Mortality quartiles 3
increasing level of recreational physical activity, compared with the mortality of quar tile
the most sedentary was: 0.68 (95% CI 0.64-0.71), 0.61 (95% IC0.57-0.66) and
0.53 (95% CI 0.41-0.68) (Table 1). Among the most active half, the
participants in a sporting activity showed a mortality halved.
Finally, those using bicycles as a means of transport enjoyed a
reduced by 40% mortality. (0)
After this introduction edifying, we will now detail the
impact of physical activity on different devices.
