Hey champs! Let's dive into the amazing world of Sports, Exercise & Health Science. Here's a fun take on what you need to know:
Case Study Bus Drivers vs. Bus Conductors ๐
- Who: Professor Jerry Morris.
- Where: Double-decker buses in London.
- What he found
- Bus conductors had half the heart attacks compared to bus drivers.
- Reason: Conductors climbed ๐ 600 stairs daily for most of the year. Drivers? Sat 90% of the time.
- Real-world example: Imagine a life where you climb the Eiffel Tower stairs frequently vs. binge-watching Netflix. That's the difference!
Physical Activity = Healthy Heart (& more) ๐ช
- Numerous studies indicate more activity = less risk of heart disease.
- Not just the heart, but benefits extend to fighting:
- Cancer ๐ฆ
- Obesity ๐
- Type 2 diabetes ๐ฌ
- Osteoporosis ๐ฆด
- Mental ill-health ๐ง
Hypokinetic Diseases ๐๏ธ
- Definition: Diseases from an inactive lifestyle.
- However! Let's not oversimplify:
- While exercise is the superhero ๐ฆธ, other factors play the villain role, including genes, diet, smoking, and alcohol.
- Real-world example: Imagine blaming Batman for all of Gotham's problems. There are many villains in town!
