Exercise can help reduce the risk of heartdisease, cancer and diabetes

运动能帮助降低心脏病、癌症以及糖尿病的患病风险

Researchers say current exercise guidelinesare unrealistic and argue that doctors should sometimes advise small increasesin activity instead.

研究人员说目前的锻炼指导是不现实的，他们认为医生有时应该建议小量增加活动。

They warn the 150-minute weekly target isbeyond the reach of some people - particularly older individuals.

他们警告说每周150分钟的目标对一些人，特别是老年人来说是难以企及的。

And striving to reach these goals couldmean the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked.

努力达到这些目标的同时意味着轻锻炼的好处被忽视。

But public health officials say currentrecommendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart disease.

但是公共卫生官员说，目前的建议已经证明了运动在降低心脏病患病风险上的好处。

Tailored advice

定制的建议

There is mounting evidence that inactivityis linked to heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer.

越来越多的证据表明，心脏病、糖尿病和其他类型的癌症都与不运动有关。

UK guidelines for adults recommend at leasttwo-and-a-half hours of moderate activity a week, in bouts of 10 minutes ormore.

英国成人指导方针建议每周至少两个半小时的适度活动，每次10分钟或者更久。

But in two separate articles in the BMJ,experts argue the message needs to change, with greater emphasis on makinginactive people move more.

但在BMJ里的两篇单独的文章中，专家认为建议需要改变，更注重让那些不运动的人运动起来。

Prof Philipe de Souto Barreto at theUniversity Hospital of Toulouse, advises people who are sedentary to make smallincremental increases in their activity levels - rather than pushing to achievecurrent goals.

图卢兹大学医院的教授Philipe de Souto Barreto建议久坐的人需要对他们的运动程度进行适量的增加，而不是推动实现当前的目标。

He points to previous studies which showeven short periods of walking or just 20 minutes of vigorous activity a fewtimes a month, can reduce the risk of death, compared to people who do noexercise.

他指出，之前的研究成果说明即使是短暂的步行或者是一个月几次时长20分钟的高强度运动，相比那些不运动的人可以降低死亡的风险。

In the second article, Prof PhillipSparling of the Georgia Institute of Technology, says doctors should tailor theiradvice - particularly for older patients.

在第二篇文章中，乔治亚理工学院的教授Philip Sparling说医生应该特别为老年患者定制建议。

He suggests using GP visits for people over60 to discuss "realistic options" to increase activity - such asgetting people to stand up and move during TV commercial breaks.

他建议对60岁以上的人使用医生访问，讨论为了增加运动量所做的“现实的选择”——比如让人们在电视广告休息的时候站起来走动。

Prof Kevin Fenton at Public Health England,says: "Everyone needs to be active every day - bouts of 10 or more minutesof physical activity have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes ormore of moderate activity every week is the amount we need to positively impacton a wide range of health conditions.

英国公共卫生教授Kevin Fenton说：“每个人每天都要活动——10分钟或时长更多分钟的身体活动已经证明健康的好处，但每周时长150分钟的或者更温和的活动是我们需要对身体健康状况产生积极影响的必要的量。

"This includes reducing the risk ofheart disease and type 2 diabetes."

“这包括减少心脏病和2型糖尿病的风险。（A）
