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 🚌
- 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 🏃 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) 💪
- Numerous studies indicate more activity = less risk of heart disease.
- Not just the heart, but benefits extend to fighting:
- Cancer 🦀
- Obesity 🍔
- Type 2 diabetes 🍬
- Osteoporosis 🦴
- Mental ill-health 🧠
Hypokinetic Diseases 🛋️
- Definition: Diseases from an inactive lifestyle.
- However! Let's not oversimplify:
- While exercise is the superhero 🦸, 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!
