A study on the physical fitness and values of blood chemistry on running group in old men

本研究的目的是为研究运动性猝死的发生机制提供基础资料。在1990年，对参加过马拉松比赛的14名老年人（平均年龄61.2岁）进行了心电图、力量和血液生化的测定，确定了他们在休息时的身体状况。在一九九一年，当局继续测试他们的身体状况，并对其中七名受试者进行马拉松赛跑前后的血液生化测试（平均年龄68.2岁）进行了研究。在强度测试中，个别差异很大，但总体上比一般老年人强壮得多，研究人员对其中几名受试者进行了血液生化测试，但认为如果他们继续进行运动，就不会造成任何麻烦。受试者的年龄很大，运动的效果也反映在血液生化测试结果中。目前正在研究运动引起的血液生化指标的变化，这些结果并不能为运动中猝死的问题提供一个简单的科学答案。因此，计划以这些数据为基础，收集更多的同类信息，并研究使老年人能够安全锻炼的医疗检查类型。

The purpose of this research was to obtain basic information for studying the mechanism of sudden death during exercise. In it, strength and biochemical blood tests were performed on elderly people who had run in marathons.In 1990, the physical condition at rest of 14 subjects (average age 61.2 years) was determined by making electrocardiograms and testing their strength and blood biochemistry. In 1991, the tests on their physical condition were continued and the results of biochemical blood tests carried out on seven of the subjects before and after running in a marathon (average age 68.2 years) were studied.In the strength tests, a great variation was seen from person to person but the subjects on the whole were much stronger than the average elderly person.Abnormalities were seen in the electrocardiograms of several of the subjects but it was considered that they would cause no trouble if they continued to exercise as they had been doing.The high age of the subjects and the effects of exercise were reflected in the results of the blood biochemistry tests. The changes in biochemical blood tests resulting from exercise are being studied at present.These results do not provide an easy scientific answer to the problem of sudden death during exercise. Therefore, using them as a basis, it is planned to collect more of the same kind of information and study types of medical check that will enable elderly people to exercise safely.
