11.People who get a good workout almost daily can add nearly four years to their life spans,according to the first study to quantify the impact of physical activity this way.The researchers looked at records of more than 5,000middle-aged and elderly Americans and found that those who had moderate to high levels of activity lived 1.3to 3.7years longer than those who got little exercise,with men and women benefiting about equally.
"This shows that physical activity really does make a difference--not only for how long you live but for how long you live a healthy life,"said Oscar H.Franco of the Erasmus M.C.University Medical Center in Rotterdam."Being more physically active can give you more time."
Previous studies have found that being physically active has a host of health benefits.It reduces the risk of being overweight and of developing many illnesses,improves overall quality of life,and lowers the mortality rate.But the new study is the first to directly calculate the effect on how long people live.
People who engaged in moderate activity--the equivalent of walking for 30minutes a day for five days a week--lived about 1.3to 1.5years longer than those who were less active.Those who took on more intense exercise--the equivalent of running half an hour a day five days every week--extended their lives by about 3.5to 3.7years,the researchers found.
The findings show that even for people who are already middle-aged,exercising more can add years to their lives,Franco said.
Other experts said the study was consistent with the growing evidence that exercising on a regular basis is one of the most important things people can do for their health.
"At the end of the day,this is more evidence that the sedentary lifestyle is the most devastating to health,longevity and chronic disease development,"said James O.Hill of the University of Colorado at Denver.
Hill and others said exercising regularly also enables people to live healthier lives,free from a host of chronic illnesses that can make it hard for people to enjoy their later years.
In addition,recent studies have also found that exercise has payoffs for the mind,too.It has been shown to improve overall well-being and reduce stress and depression.
"The benefits of physical activity extend well beyond the effects on longevity,"said Joann E.Manson of Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
