Staying physically active helps keep your heart healthy and your muscles strong, and in cancer patients it has even been shown to ward
35、off relapse (复发). Now a series of independently conducted studies on the effects of exercise on healthy older adults, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, confirms that logging time at the gym not only helps maintain good health but may even prevent the attack of chronic diseases, such as
36、 heart disease, osteoarthritis and dementia.B. In one surprising trial, researchers led by Dr Teresa Liu-Ambrose at the University of British Columbia randomly assigned 155 aging women to three separate groups and directly compared the cognitive effects of two types of exercise: resistance training,
37、 done once or twice weekly, in which participants worked out with free weights and weight machines and did squats and lunges, versus toning and balance exercises, which participants did twice a week.C. By the end of the yearlong study, the women who weight-trained saw an improvement in their perform
38、ance on cognitive tests of memory and learning as well as in executive functions such as decision-making and conflict resolutionwomen who trained once a week improved their scores in executive functioning by 12.6%while those who did balance and toning exercises showed no such improvement. The muscle
39、-strengthening exercise also helped the volunteers, ages 65 to 75, boost their walking speed, a commonly used indicator of overall health status in the elderly, as faster pace has been linked with lower mortality.D. The Canadian researchers findings were somewhat unexpected, given that previous stud
40、ies on the issue have typically focused on aerobic exercise, which experts believe enhances cognitive function by promoting blood flow to the brain. Liu-Ambrose says her team speculated that anaerobic weight training would have a similar effect for other reasons. First, a resistance-training regimen
41、 requires a considerable amount of learning, especially for elderly people who may not be accustomed to the equipment. To learn how to use dumbbells, a leg press or a latissimus pull-down machine correctly, for example, the volunteers were required to focus on the task at hand, master new techniques
42、 and retain new information about proper and safe use of equipment. Previous studies have shown that such learning can help older adults maintain mental acuity.E. The women also had to remember their weight settings and adjustments to the seats and keep track of the number of repetitions they comple
43、ted, says Liu-Ambrose. “There is a lot more learning involved that may not occur if you take up a walking program,“ she says, noting that it took the volunteers a good two months to get comfortable with the equipment and the training regimen. In addition, Liu-Ambrose says, other studies have found t
44、hat people who weight-train show an increase in blood levels of a growth factor that is important for maintaining skeletal mass. This factor, it turns out, also promotes nerve growth, which could be another way that resistance training boosts mental function.F. In a second brain-function study, publ
45、ished in the same journal, scientists in Germany found that increased physical activity was associated with a lower incidence of dementia. In this study, researchers recruited 3,485 elderly residents in Bavaria and asked them about their physical activity. None of the participants had dementia at th
46、e start of the analysis, but after two years of follow-up, researchers found that those who exercised at least three times a week were half as likely to have developed dementia, compared with the people who reported no physical activity. Based on his results, says lead author Dr Thorleif Etgen, a professor of psychiatry and psychotherapy at Mnchen University, “it doesnt make a big difference if you have moderate or high physical activity.
