Necessary to aim

There is also a risk more high of wounds, for example of the foot, ankle and of the knee, once one takes share with a exercise or an intense sport. Finally, more attention must be granted to habituation with the sport, which supposes that individuals become completely “doped” of their sport, with the detriment of work and the social relations. Although a syndrome of dependence to the exercise was identified, it is extremely rare and probably accompanies by other problems, of mental origin, such as the anorexia or the disorders obsessifs compulsifs.

Which level of physical-activity is it necessary to aim?

During several of years, the promoters of health adopted Directives which aimed at the improvement of cardiovascular health and implied an intense exercise uninterrupted requiring the great groups of muscles during minimum 20 minutes (with the equivalent of 60 80% of the maximum cardiac rhythm). Unfortunately, this level of exercise proves too difficult to reach at the majority of the individuals, especially most inactive.

The most recent recommendations emanating from the United States and the United Kingdom plead the regular practice of an activity on moderate levels of intensity (walk with sharp pace). This objective is realizable by a percentage much larger of the population, since it can be reasonably built-in during the day and is less require physically. 20 minutes a daily walk to good pace will make, at the end of one year, a difference in 5 kg on the balance and will have, at the majority of the people, the measurable benefit on cardiovascular and mental health. The current recommendations recommend the walking, if possible every day of the week during approximately 30 minutes. Certain data even suggest that this quantity of exercise divided into two to three times per week is almost as effective and more convenient as on a daily basis.
