The Health Benefits of Exercise
• People have a 33-50% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with inactive people. The preventative effect is particularly strong for those at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as it can reduce their risk of developing the disease by up to 64%.
• Programmes can help reduce the risk of falling, and therefore fractures, among older people.
• Effective in the treatment of clinical depression and can be as successful as psychotherapy or medication, particularly in the longer term.
• Associated with a reduction in overall risk of cancer. In colon cancer the most active individuals have, on average, a 40-50% lower risk than the least active. Women with higher levels of physical activity have about a 30% lower risk of breast cancer than the least active.
• Physical activity is a major independent protective factor against coronary heart disease in men and women. Inactive and unfit people have almost double the risk of dying from coronary heart disease compared with more active and fit people. People at high risk of coronary heart disease may benefit even more from physical activity compared with people at lower risk.
• Also significantly reduces the risk of a stroke and provides effective treatment of peripheral vascular disease.
