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

本研究旨在为研究运动猝死机制提供基础资料。在这项研究中，对参加马拉松比赛的老年人进行了力量和血液生化测试。1990年，对14名受试者（平均年龄61.2岁）进行了静息时的身体状况测定，方法为心电图测定、力量测定和血液生化测定。1991年，继续对他们的身体状况进行测试，并对其中7人（平均年龄68.2岁）参加马拉松比赛前后进行血液生化测试的结果进行研究。在力量测试中，人与人之间的差异很大，但总体而言，受试者比一般老年人强壮得多。有几个受试者的心电图出现了异常，但人们认为，如果他们继续像以前那样锻炼，就不会造成什么麻烦。血液生化测试的结果反映了受试者的高年龄和运动的影响。目前正在研究运动对血液生化指标的影响。这些结果并没有为运动中猝死的问题提供一个简单的科学答案。因此，以此为基础，计划收集更多的同类信息，并研究使老年人能够安全运动的医疗检查类型。

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.
