Fitness May 21st, 2010

Exercise like jogging leisurely run very good for the heart and blood vessels. But not so with more severe exercise, like marathon.
According to experts from Greece, the blood vessels of the marathon runners are even more potential to be rigid so that blood flow becomes smooth. Known heavy exercise is bad for the heart because it causes hardening of the arteries, increasing blood pressure, heart attacks, even death.
“If you do not exercise, your risk of cardiovascular disease would be high, just as when you exercise too much,” said lead researcher Dr.Despina Kardara of Athens Medical School. He added that the cardiovascular system is like a sports car engine. When not in use, for long would be damaged. But if the car was too “digeber”, can be the engine burn.
In this study Kardara and his team studied the health of 49 male marathon runners and 46 people who were not athletes as the control group. It turned out that the marathon runners have significantly systolic blood pressure (the pressure above) is higher than non-athletes marathon.
The researchers concluded that vigorous exercise increases the risk of blood vessel kekakukan. “Stiff arteries will cause high blood pressure and can damage the heart function. In general, aortic stiffness is an indicator of cardiovascular disease and hardening of the arteries,” said Kardara.
There are many reasons for the occurrence of arterial stiffness in marathon athletes. One of them is too extreme sport that will cause excessive stress on artery walls, causing the artery to work too hard. Dr.Charalombos according Vlachopoulos, one of the researchers.
“The endurance athlete should be noted the number and volume of their training programs. Let them accompanied by a doctor, especially before intense exercise such as running a marathon,” said Kardara.

In addition to regulate the diet, people with diabetes also should be diligent in exercising. Because, exercise helps the body to absorb the maximum sugar circulating in the body. But, do not exercise also trigger excretion of sweat that quickly made thirsty? Especially when fasting, can people with diabetes exercise?
“Do not always identify the sports with sweat excessively, especially for people with diabetes,” said Dr. Michael Triangto, SpOK, sports medicine specialist from Slim + Health Sports Therapy.
Thus, exercise that is suitable is not aerobic and aerobic gymnastics. Because aerobic exercise has a movement repeatedly with a short time, it was harder. As a result, people with diabetes will be easier breathing hard and accelerating decline in blood.
Then, what kind of exercise is aerobics? Michael mentions, brisk walking or biking can be relaxing choice. But, before doing the sport, Michael reminded to see if there are other diseases that accompany diabetes. For, could have done a good exercise for diabetes, but not for other disease complications experienced.
That’s why before exercising what should be defined purpose and for goals to be achieved is to stay healthy during fasting and after fasting, it must be done according to the health value. Parameters for this, he said, is the measurement of heart rate with the formula 220 minus age in years. The results of the formula is 100% of heart rate and for people with diabetes, the limit is 50-70% of maximum heart rate.
For example, people with diabetes aged 30 years, so maximum is 190 beats per minute. Thus, heart rate limits when walking or cycling is a leisurely 80-133 per minute. That means, he explains, is less than 80 then do the exercises less than helpful, but if more than 133 are dangerous.
When talking about the benefits, exercise is done regularly and for long periods can help the muscles to absorb sugar, or glucose that circulate in the body. Therefore, people with diabetes is difficult to absorb sugar, it takes a higher insulin to glucose can be absorbed stacked.
“And with the muscles that are aerobic, body sensitivity of glucose into greater”. As a result, blood sugar levels can be more stable and for people with early diabetes, regular exercise can break away from drug addiction.
