【医生请回答：运动能延缓衰老吗？】衰老虽然不可避免，但规律运动可以帮助延缓机体功能下降，提高生活质量。南京大学医学院副院长、南京鼓楼医院运动医学与成人重建外科主任蒋青教授指出，日常运动不仅能强化心、肺、肝、脑功能，还能降低老年人跌倒的风险。蒋教授还建议运动的强度和方式需与自身年龄相匹配，避免长期空腹剧烈运动或过度单一的训练。
Aging is inevitable, but exercise can help slow down functional decline and improve quality of life. Regular exercise strengthens heart, lung, liver and brain function while reducing the risk of falls in older adults, says Jiang Qing, vice dean and professor of Nanjing University Medical School and chief physician of the Department of Sports Medicine and Adult Reconstructive Surgery of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. Recommended routines include 30 minutes of exercise every day, strength training twice a week, and stretching once or twice a week. Jiang also noted that the intensity and type of exercises should match a person's age and physical condition. He advised against intense workouts on an empty stomach or focusing excessively on a single type of exercise. http://t.cn/AX6NUpe6
