How Regular Exercise Prolongs Life

Journal/Book: PMR. 1991; 3: 79-81.

Abstract: Regular endurance exercise prolongs life mostly by reducing the cardiovascular risk. Many mechanisms might be involved and it is not possible to define their relative importance. Possibly, hemodynamic effects contribute to quality of life and the ability of exercise to influence classical cardiovascular risk factors eventually prolongs life. In any case, regular exercise is certainly an excellent means of primary prevention of atherosclerotic diseases.
