Millions of people die from lack of physical activity

According to the results of the report published in the journal Lancet on July 17, up to a third of adults worldwide fall into "potato" physical inactivity and lifestyle. This has killed about 5 million people every year. The passive situation is likened to a dangerous "pandemic" globally.

According to statistics, up to 10 people aged 15 and over, up to 3 people who do not exercise enough time are recommended and this situation is even more worrisome for teenagers aged 13-15 because 4 out of 5 children are classified as lacking in physical activity.

According to health regulations, if a person is physically inactive for 30 minutes / 5 times a week, and physically active for 20 minutes / 3 times / week or does not combine both forms of exercise, then considered falling into a lack of exercise. The staggering situation increases with age and has a higher rate in women and is more common in high-income countries.

The researchers also conducted a second statistic showing that physical activity has a direct impact on patients with diabetes, heart disease and cancer . Only in 2008, the condition is lazy. exercise has caused 5.3 million people out of 57 million patients to die. This "pandemic" is also the main reason why 1/6 of the world's population suffers from coronary heart disease, 7% of type 2 diabetes (the most common form) and 10% of breast and colon cancer.

Researchers assessed the level of danger of motor deficiency almost equal to obesity and smoking smoking, and estimated that a 10% reduction in the lack of exercise would prevent death. of more than 500,000 people / year.

The human body needs regular exercise to enhance bone growth, muscle bundles, heart and other optimal functional organs, but actually shows walking, jumping and riding activities. Less pedaling instead of traveling by car and sitting too much in front of a computer screen.

A series of other articles in Lancet called for global efforts to promote physical activities in the community. The report suggests walking, biking on the streets, in addition to promoting physical education activities in schools and encouraging communities to participate in free fitness centers.
