Dr. I-MIN Lee, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical College This video On the channel “Omar VIVA”. Among other things, it is one of the two main investigators in studying the health of the famous women, and it is in a good position to provide knowledge based on physical activity of health. I found her to be very familiar and enjoyable!
My favorite story was to discuss work with one of its legendary guidelines doctor. Ralph Parserables. A epidemic specialist was a pioneer in studying the relationship between physical activity and health, as well as a dangerous marathon. When they attend the conferences together, people ask him about what his last achievements are, and he will quote an impressive time in a modern event. Sometimes they resort to it and ask, “And what do you do to exercise?” She must respond ashamed “nothing.” She had grew up in Malaysia, which she described as very hot and self, which she did not inspire to do a lot of physical activity.
This made her realize that she will get a better work activity in her life to take the results of her research seriously. This makes it an ideal model for those of us who know that we should be physically active for health, but they are not necessarily inspiring to be athlete. She allows her scientific knowledge to show us the appropriate amount and appropriate types of activity to be healthy.
She was pleased to hear her confirming that the typical instructions (whose research contributed) try to get 150 minutes of mild physical activity (such as brisk walking) per week, gives about 90 % of health benefits. For those who enjoy it, no harm comes from this amount to ten times. But the return on benefits increases only marginalized after the minimum amount of the recommended amount. This can be in dedicated sessions such as 30 minutes several times a week, or in short -short -circuit sessions throughout the week. So the activity of work in daily life, for example using the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking a little away from walking, and counting. Another fun tale she presented is that her department at Harvard University is on the third floor of its building, and Dr. Lee always takes the stairs. But many people on their floor use the elevator instead, and if it is out of service, they remain in the hallway as if it was not sure of what to do.
An important point that you covered for those who love their steps is that there is no scientific basis for the famous “10000 -step” goal. Which originated from the marketing company. From the study of women’s health, it has been emphasized that the target of 7500 steps are more accurate (of course there is nothing wrong with 10,000 if you enjoy it, but it is not necessary to obtain health benefits).
This appointed video has not covered the training for the older adults, but I am sure that there is a lot of insight about Dr. Lee’s research. There is a lot of information in the book I edited, Epidemiological methods in physical activity studies.
