体育运动

不论体育运动是否能延长人的寿命，人们普遍认为，适量而有规律的体育运动可以增强体质，并使人愉悦。另外，体育运动集玩乐和消遣于一体，可以使人放松紧张情绪，缓解精神疲劳。因此，做运动一举两得：既能放松，又有益于身心健康。

一个人适合做什么样的体育运动，运动强度如何？这些问题值得人们注意。发育中的儿童和一般的青年男妇都会因紧张剧烈的运动而激动不已。即使累得筋疲力尽，他们也能在一段休息之后很快恢复体力。但是中年及中年以上的人就做不到。对这些人来说，运动适度是很重要的。不同年龄的人从事多少运动是一个难以回答的问题。个人的差异太大，无法一概而论。某种网球运动可能对于某个40岁的人来说是安全的，但对于另一个人来说却不合适。运动的安全范围取决于人的以及状况、肌肉状况、运动类型以及进行运动的规律性。但是下面两个一般性建议适合所有人。一个建议是应该定期进行细致的体检，查看心脏情况和总体体质。另一个建议是运动强度要适度，不应使人筋疲力尽。

一个人选择哪种类型的运动取决于他的体质。年轻人可以放心地参加有力度的竞技性运动，但大多数老年人最好还是把自己的活动限制在不太剧烈的程度之内。散步、游泳和滑冰是人们喜欢的运动并且各个年龄段的人都可以参加。任何人想从体育运动中获得最大的乐趣和益处，那么有规律就很重要了。
