20 Percent People Didn't Get Exercise Benefits

20 Percent People Didn't Get Exercise Benefits
 

Millions of people in the world who are fighting hard to keep fit by jogging, swimming or aerobic exercise may be time wasted for nothing, so scientists say.
 
According to recent research, the benefits of exercise were not the same for every individual, but depending on their genes. In fact, there are people who do not get any benefit despite routine practice.
 
It was revealed from the research conducted researchers from the University of London, England, on 500 respondents in the United States and England. James Timmons who led the research says, as much as 20 percent of the population or 1 in 5 people will not get significant health benefits of exercise done.
 
According to Timmons, the results of this study may open the way for the discovery of a method of examination is more personal, for example, through DNA tests to find out the best way to prevent disease. Because exercise has no effect to their health, he suggested that they were in this group is more focused on healthy eating.
 
In this research, respondents were asked to perform a variety of aerobic exercise program for 30 minutes five days a week. After a period of 20, 12 and 6-week training period, the majority of respondents showed increased oxygen consumption during exercise. The amount of oxygen consumed is a key indicator of aerobic exercise.
 
As many as 20 percent of respondents showed increased oxygen levels of less than five percent or could be called no improvement. Meanwhile, 30 percent showed no increase in insulin sensitivity, which means the sport did not reduce the risk of diabetes.
 
Another assessment was conducted to analyze samples of muscle tissue that results showed there were 30 pairs of genes that predict increased intake of oxygen. From the results of these tests showed 11 genes specific benefits that can be obtained from aerobic exercise.
 
As is known, the low number of maximum oxygen consumption is a marker of illness vulnerable. Therefore, health experts usually recommend aerobic exercise immediately to increase oxygen capacity.
 
"Looking ahead, we expect health professionals to conduct examination before sports or suggest that effective prevention in health care," said Timmons.
