虽然古代思想家认为体育活动有益于健康，但直到20世纪中叶才开始对该主题进行系统研究。早期的报告显示，从事积极职业的人患心脏病的几率低于从事久坐职业的人。然后，研究人员开始评估休闲时间的身体活动和健康状况，发现了类似的结果。后来的研究使用心肺健康的客观指标作为暴露，并发现与健康结果的联系更强。最近的研究已经将早期关于活动或健身与心脏病的发现扩展到各种各样的健康结果。我们现在知道，每周150分钟的中等强度体育活动可以降低患多种慢性疾病的风险，保持老年时的健康和功能（身体和精神），并延长寿命。当前的挑战是制定计划和干预措施，以促进我们越来越多的久坐社会中所有人的体育活动。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.

Although ancient thinkers suggested that physical activity is good for health, systematic research on the topic did not begin until the middle of the 20th century. Early reports showed that individuals in active occupations had lower rates of heart disease than individuals in sedentary occupations. Investigators then began to evaluate leisure-time physical activity and health and found similar results. Later research used objective measures of cardiorespiratory fitness as the exposure, and found even stronger associations with health outcomes. Recent research has extended the earlier findings on activity or fitness and heart disease to a wide variety of health outcomes. We now know that regular physical activity of 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity physical activity reduces the risk of numerous chronic diseases, preserves health and function (both physical and mental) into old age, and extends longevity. The current challenge is to develop programs and interventions to promote physical activity for all in our increasingly sedentary societies Ann Epidemiol 2009; 19:253-256. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.
