It's free, requires no equipment and the scenery can be stunning – it's no wonder running is among the world's most popular sports. 跑步是免费的，也不需要任何设备，而且（沿途的）景色可能还会十分优美，因此跑步是世界上最受欢迎的运动之一也就不足为奇了。 The number of recreational runners in Australia has doubled from 2006 to 2017. Now more than 1.35 million Australians (7.4 percent) run for fun and exercise. 从2006年到2017年，澳大利亚休闲跑步者的人数翻了一番。如今超过135万澳大利亚人（7.4%）跑步是为了娱乐和锻炼。 Our study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, suggests running can significantly improve your health and reduce the risk of death at a given point in time. 我们发表在《英国运动医学杂志》上的研究表明，跑步可以明显改善你的健康状况，并在特定时间点降低死亡风险。 And you don't have to run fast or far to reap the benefits. 跑步的好处并不需要跑得很快或很远来获得。 Past research has found running reduces the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, disability, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. 以前的研究发现跑步可以降低肥胖、高血压、高血脂、残疾、2型糖尿病、心脏病和癌症的风险。 It also improves aerobic endurance, heart function, balance and metabolism. |
