公園使運動更給力 啊,超贊的戶外運動,對身體也有好處哦。因為研究表明,我們經(jīng)常逛逛街邊公園,身體會越來越健康。 為了為美國游憩與公園協(xié)會準備一篇報告,來自美國賓州州立大學的研究員處理了來自各種研究的數(shù)據(jù)。 在五個城市的調(diào)查中,38%超過50歲的人稱他們每周至少去一次公園。所以這些綠洲不僅只是個美麗的地方,也是個健身的好去處。 年輕人同樣也會受益。一研究表明,青春期女生會在每周去距家半米以內(nèi)的公園做17分中強度到高強度的體育運動。此外,在公園和娛樂場所方面,政府為每人每多投資10美元,女生每周進行高強度運動的時間就會多8小時。此政府花銷同時也為男生女生帶來更多的塑形鍛煉。 如此一來,每人每年就能減少至少8000美元的醫(yī)療保健費用。所以,政府官員在想著緊縮預算的時候要三思,是否要節(jié)省公園建設(shè)費用以減少財政預算。因為逛公園真的讓我們減肥了。
