慢跑會導致早逝？
Jogging to an early grave? BBC
Intensive exercise might not be doing you
good
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 very strenuous activities
are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying
over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the
sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate 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 (8km/h).
The research suggests that people who jog
more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7mph (11km/h) die at
the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because
strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries. 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,
jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more
is not just unnecessary, it may be harmful."
The implications of this are that moderate
forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us
than 'iron man' events, triathlons and long-distance 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".
Questions:
Do you believe the concept that jogging to
an early grave? Intensive exercise might not be doing you good?
Does exercise really make you healthier?
How to live a long and healthy life?
Have you ever tried running marathons?
How to decrease risk of death?
In your opinion, what kind of exercise may
be harmful?
What do you think that forms of exercise
such as tai chi and yoga?
What are the benefits of exercise?

Nurses often not paid for overtime, survey shows CNA
Despite their long working hours, nurses earn just NT$41,878 (US$1,400) per month on average, and they often do not receive overtime pay, according to a poll released yesterday.
Nurses in regional hospitals receive NT$39,397 per month on average, while local hospitals pay NT$41,188 on average, according to the poll, which was released ahead of International Nurses Day on Sunday.
Union director Jane Lu (盧孳艷) said nurses usually have to put in many extra hours, often without pay.
They log an average of 82.85 extra hours per month, working overtime and attending conferences and classes, she said.
About 55 percent of medical institutions do not offer overtime pay, and only 29 percent allow nurses to take time off instead, Lu said.
She said there have been complaints about hospitals circumvent the overtime regulations and monitoring by labor authorities by asking employees to continue working after they have clocked out.
Deaths spotlight Taiwan's 'overwork' culture By Cindy SuiBBC News
Working hard is ingrained in Taiwanese society. But recent deaths attributed to overwork are leading people to question the culture for the first time.
The deaths of nearly 50 workers last year were blamed on working more overtime than allowed by law. This figure was as much as four times higher than the previous year, according to the Council of Labor Affairs (CLA).
There have been many high-profile cases over the past two years. They include:
Hsu Shao-pin, 29, an engineer at Nanya Technology, who worked 99 hours of overtime monthly, six months before he died. His parents found him slumped over his desk at home in 2010. He had died from a heart attack.
Chiang Ding-kuo, 29, a security guard for Chien Hsiang Security Service, suffered a stroke while working in 2010. In the nine years before he died, he worked 288 to 300 hours a month.
Hsieh Ming-hung, 30, an engineer for smartphone maker HTC, died in his dormitory in February. He worked an average of 68 hours of overtime monthly.
Investigators tasked by the government to look into what caused deaths related to overwork found that the victims generally had congenital conditions, especially heart problems. They also had high-risk factors, such as being overweight and being a smoker, which had been aggravated by too much work.
Questions:
What do you think the report that nurses often not paid for overtime?
What do you think that working as a nurse?
“Deaths spotlight Taiwan’s 'overwork' culture” what do you think about Taiwan’s 'overwork' culture?
Is the idea of working hard ingrained in Taiwanese society?
What are the good pay jobs?
What jobs involve high risks?
What do you think of overtime pay rights? Do you get overtime pay?
