Changes in physical activity and other lifeway patterns influencing longevity

Impact of different domains of physical activity on cause-specific mortality: A longitudinal study

“…Associations between fitness and all-cause mortality Syvaoja et al, 2013) and between physical activity and all-cause mortality (Lee and Paffenbarger, 2000;Paffenbarger et al, 1994) have been described. However, only few studies have investigated the association between different domains of physical activity and allcause as well as cause-specific mortality, and the evidence is inconsistent (Andersen et al, 2000;Arrieta and Russell, 2008;Autenrieth et al, 2011;Barengo et al, 2004;Besson et al, 2008).…”

Effectiveness of a home-based balance-training program in reducing sports-related injuries among healthy adolescents: a cluster randomized controlled trial

“…9 The reduction in physical activity resulting from sports-related injuries could have significant long-term effects on morbidity and mortality. 10,11 Proprioceptive balance training is used in rehabilitation following sports-related injuries and is becoming recognized as an important element in injury prevention in sports. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Running, jumping or pivoting on one leg relies on a sense of joint position and muscular control for joint stability.…”

Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health

“…Compared with their death rates, gradient reductions in mortality were observed with increased levels of physical activity, and gradient increases in mortality with decreased levels of activity. At the extremes of this gradient, men who had increased their energy expenditure by 1250kcal/week had a 20% lower risk of death than men in the unchanged category; men who decreased their activity by 1250kcal/week had a 26% higher risk (Paffenbarger et al, 1993(Paffenbarger et al, , 1994.…”
