New Longevity Study Reveals Surprising Results
|
|
A new study shows what you probably already knew about aquatics and health: swimmers have better survival rates than their sedentary peers. What you might not have figured out is that the rate of death is twice as much for men who exercise on land rather than in water.
Dr. Steven Blair, who conducted the research on over 40,000 men aged 29-90, was equally impressed. "These lower rates in swimmers compared with walkers and sedentary men might well be expected," comments Dr. Blair, "but it is surprising that we also observed lower mortality in swimmers than in runners. Therefore, swimming appears to be a healthful alternative to other types of physical activity."
