Cardiovascular disease (coming soon)

Cardio exercise equipment (coming soon)

Heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans yearly, almost 1 million people per year.

Often climaxed by a heart attack, it is usually the result of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis narrows arteries and prevents blood from reaching the heart.

Atherosclerosis begins to develop in childhood, especially more so as many children engage in less physical activity & excess calorie consumption than in previous generations. Studies show many teens' hearts have typical signs of heart disease.

Many heart attacks occur during physical exertion. Inactive people are 50x more likely to suffer from exertion heart attacks than active persons.

This is a strong clue on the relationship between exercise & a healthy heart. When doing something that they aren’t used to, exertion/exercise, inactive people’s hearts often give out.

Many studies show the relationship between cardiovascular health & exercise. Studies consistently show that cardiovascular disease & exercise have an inverse relationship - more exercise = less cardiovascular disease.

Studies on link between exercise
& a healthy heart

cardiovascular health& exercise, a marriage made in heaven The London bus driver study (Morris & Raffle, 1954) found more active conductors to have less heart disease than less active drivers.

The study of Harvard graduates (Paffenbarger, 1986) showed moderate exercise reduced heart disease & death 29%, high activity reduced them 46%.

The Nurse’s Health Study showed exercise to be one of the important factors in heart disease.

There are thousands of studies showing the same results.

How to exercises for cardiovascular health

1)Studies on cardiovascular health & exercise suggest that exercise must be current. Former activity, like in college sports, did transfer health benefits to subjects.

2)Again, the largest fraction of protection comes from activity that is moderate. Think long & slow like leisurely jogs or hikes.

3)Exercise to prevent cardiovascular disease must be consistent. Aim for daily. If not, missing 1 or 2 days per week shouldn’t hurt. Exercise hard 2 days a week, like “weekend warriors” is not satisfactory.
