Source?
- manmal 14y agoI found this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1837113/pdf/bmj00240-0029.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1837113/pdf/bmj0... Long-distance running is reported to predict hip joints degeneration. But it does not find out which distance is good and which is bad.
- NuZZ 14y agoI think he was after information concerning the heart and running as join degradation from running is, afaik, common knowledge. I was under the impression running improved heart strength. http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/heart-attack-risks-are-greater-for-athletes-who-compete-in-endurance-sports-263 http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/heart-attack-risks-are-great... Such articles state that endurance running (as opposed to sprints) , or any edurancy activity, increase heart attack chance. No exercise is purported as the greatest heart risk, so perhaps high intensity low endurance is best for heart health? I'd imagine it wouldn't build stamina.
