Running is a physical and mental health exercise, but some people feel tired and don’t want to start or end halfway. A recent study pointed out that running does not have to be fast or far, and even a smaller amount of running can reduce the risk of death.

Recently, a research report published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, scientists from institutions such as the University of Victoria have compiled a total analysis of existing data through research and found that running of any degree can significantly reduce the risk of all-cause death in the organism, and do not have to run too far or too fast to effectively improve the health and longevity of the organisms in the population.

{In this study, researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of related research reports, conference reports and other articles published in the database. The researchers revealed the relationship between running/jogging and people's all-cause death risks, cardiovascular disease death risks and cancer death risks. The researchers analyzed 14 studies, covering 232,149 participants whose health status was tracked for 5.5-35 years, and 25,951 participants died during the tracking period. When researchers conducted mixed analysis of data, they found that running to any extent reduced all-cause death risk by 27% compared to those who did not run (both male and female), 27% reduced all-cause death risk by 30% and 23% cancer death risk by 23%.

researchers say that even smaller runs, such as once a week or less, each time lasting less than 50 minutes and a speed below 8 km/h, seems to bring significant health or long-term benefits to the machine. Running 25 minutes less than the recommended weekly drama sports time can also effectively reduce the risk of death in the crowd. For those who lack exercise, running may be an option to improve the health of the organism. Research results show that increasing running volume does not appear to further reduce the risk of all-cause death in the population.

researchers point out that this is only a visual study and cannot determine the cause; because the number of people included in the study is smaller and the method differences are also large, it may affect the final results obtained. Nevertheless, researchers believe that any number of running is better than not running, so no matter how much running/level is, increasing running participation may be expected to improve the health and life of the body.
