研究：每天快走11分钟，早逝风险减少10%

An 11-minute brisk walk every day could prevent one in 10 premature deaths worldwide, according to a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. This equates to 75 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week, half the weekly 150 minutes recommended by the NHS.

发表在《英国运动医学杂志》上一项研究成果表明，每天做11分钟的中等强度运动，足以降低全球范围内十分之一的早逝风险。这相当于每周75分钟的中等强度活动，是英国国家医疗服务体系推荐的每周运动150分钟的一半。

Moderate-intensity physical activity is defined as activity that raises the heart rate and makes people breathe faster, but not so fast they cannot speak. Brisk walking, dancing, riding a bike, playing tennis or hiking are all good choices.

中等强度的体育活动被定义为提高心率、加快呼吸，但不至于快到无法说话的活动。快走、跳舞、骑自行车、打网球或爬山都是不错的选择。

Scientists, largely from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, looked at data from 196 studies, amounting to more than 30 million adult participants who were followed for 10 years on average. Compared with inactive participants, adults who had done 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity per week had a 31% lower risk of dying from any cause, a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 15% lower risk of dying from cancer.

主要来自英国剑桥大学的科学家们查看了196项研究的数据，涉及超过3000万成人参与者，平均随访时间为10年。研究发现，与不运动的人相比，每周进行150分钟或每天22分钟中高等强度运动的成年人死亡风险降低31%，死于心血管疾病的风险降低29%，死于癌症的风险降低15%。

cardiovascular

英/ˌkɑːdiəʊˈvæskjələ(r)/ 美/ˌkɑːrdioʊˈvæskjələr/

adj.心血管的；心脏强化运动的

Even people who got just half of the minimum recommended amount of physical activity benefited. Accumulating 75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week — about 11 minutes of activity per day — was associated with a 23% lower risk of early death. Getting active for 75 minutes on a weekly basis was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%.

即使是那些只做了最低推荐运动量的一半的人也从中受益。每周累积75分钟的中等强度活动——每天11分钟的活动——可将早逝的风险降低23%，还能将患心血管疾病的风险降低17%，患癌症的风险降低7%。

Dr Leandro Garcia, of Queen’s University Belfast, emphasized that moderate activity did not have to involve what people normally thought of as exercise, such as sports or running. “Sometimes, replacing some habits is all that is needed. For example, try to walk or cycle to your work or study place instead of using a car, or engage in active play with your kids or grandkids,” he said.

贝尔法斯特女王大学的莱安德罗•加西亚博士强调，适度的活动不一定限于人们通常认为的锻炼，例如运动或跑步。“有时候，只需要改掉一些习惯。例如，尝试步行或骑车而不是开车去学习或工作的地方，亦或是和孩子们一起玩耍。”
