In a long-term study of the health of the people of in the
United States, the U.S. Public Health Service documented the
chances of developing heart disease among various groups in the
population. Long before the any symptoms appeared,
epidemiological research could identify high-risk groups.
Among the highest risk factors are male sex, age over 35,
cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high levels of certain
blood fats, and a family history of cardiovascular
disorders.
Other researchers have added to this list another risk
factor: the compulsive, hard-driving, highly anxious
personality. The greater the number of severity, the greater
the person’s overall risk.
These threats to the heart can be divided into two main
categories: those beyond individual control, such as age, sex,
and heredity, and those that can be controlled, avoided, or
even eliminated. Among those in the second category are what
cardiologists call “the triple threat.” These are the high
blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and high cholesterol levels
in the blood.
If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, your risk of having
a heart attack is twice that of a nonsmoker. If you smoke, have
hypertension, and eat a diet high in fats without any exercise
at all, your risk is five times greater than normal.
The Healthy Heart
If these risk factors endanger the heart’s health, what
enhances its well-being and improves its odds of working long
and well?
Obviously, quitting cigarettes and eating a low-fat diet
will help. The next best thing you can do for your heart’s sake
is to give it what it needs: regular exercise or a complete
cardio interval training.
The heart is a muscle, or, more accurately, a group or
“package” of muscles, similar in many ways to the muscles of
the arms and legs. And just as exercise strengthens and
improves limb muscles, it enhances the health of the heart
muscles as well.
Since World War II, several large-scale statistical studies
have evaluated the relationship between physical activity and
cardiovascular disease. One well-known survey compared 31,000
drivers and conductors of some bus companies. The more
sedentary drivers had a significantly higher rate of heart
disease than the conductors, who walked around the buses and
climbed stairs to the upper level.
The why and how behind these statistics were bet explained
by classic experiments with dogs whose coronary arteries were
surgically narrowed to resemble those of humans with
arteriosclerosis. Dogs who were exercised were had much better
blood flow than those kept inactive.
The exercise seemed to stimulate the development of new
connections between the impaired and the nearly normal blood
vessels, so exercised dogs had a better blood supply to all the
muscle tissue of the heart. The human heart reacts in the same
way to provide blood to the portion that was damaged by the
heart attack.
To enable the damaged heart muscle to heal, the heart relies
on new small blood vessels for what is called collateral
circulation. These new branches on the arterial tress can
develop long before a heart attack — and can prevent a heart
attack if the new network takes on enough of the function of
the narrowed vessels.
With all these facts, it is now boiled down to a single
question: What should be done in order to prevent such
dilemmas?
Some studies showed that moderate exercise several times a
week is more effective in building up these auxiliary pathways
than extremely vigorous exercise done twice often.
The general rule is that exercise helps reduce the risk of
harm to the heart. Some researches further attested the link
between exercise and healthy heart based from the findings that
the non-exercisers had a 49% greater risk of heart attack than
the other people included in the study. The study attributed a
third of that risk to sedentary lifestyle alone.
Hence, with employing the cardio interval training, you can
absolutely expect positive results not only on areas that
concerns your cardiovascular system but on the overall status
of your health as well.
This particular activity that is definitely good for the
heart is a cycle of “repeated segments” that is of intense
nature. In this process, there is an interchange periods of
recuperation. It can both be comprehensive activity and
moderate motion.
Consequently, the benefits of merely engaging into this kind
of activity can bring you more results that you have ever
expected. These are:
1. The threats of heart attack are lessened, if not
eliminated
2. Enhanced heart task
3. Increase metabolism, increase the chance of burning
calories, therefore, assist you in losing weight
4. Improves lung capacity
5. Helps lessen or eliminate the cases of stress
Indeed, cardio interval training is the modern way of
creating a healthy, happy heart and body.
