If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a
shock.According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people
who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1 000 joggers ( ) and nonjoggers for 12 years.The
death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a proper pace two or three times a week for less
than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per
hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die
at the same rate as nonjoggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes
to the heart and arteries (动脉)Over time, this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life
expectancy ( 寿 命 )jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just
unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”
The implications () of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and walking may be
better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and longdistance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis
Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on
your health.And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much.”
24The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”
Aregular Bhard
Cpractical Dflexible
25The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to
Asuggest giving up jogging
Bshow risks of doing sports
Cprovide supportive evidence
Dintroduce the research process
26According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?
AIt may injure the heart and arteries.
BIt can make the body tired out.
