Breaking News....Martial Arts is the Best Exercise...
In a well-controlled, long-term, Stanford University
study headed by exercise physician Dr. Paffenbarger,
martial arts was determined to be one of the very
best exercises for increasing cardiovascular health
and burning calories.
Dr. Paffenbarger first found that people who burn
over 2000 calories per week through exercise
significantly reduce their cardiovascular risks.
He then evaluated a number of different types of
exercise to see how effective each is in helping
the practitioner burn 2000 weekly calories.
He and his co-workers grouped the types of exercise
into three categories with respect to their
effectiveness in burning the minimum calories he
found necessary to be of health benefit. The
categories were: Best,Fair and Least effective. In the Best Category we find the expected -
running, jogging, walking, bicycling, cross-country
skiing and swimming. These are the forms of exercise
which, at the time of Paffenbarger's study, already
had strong scientific support. Along with these types
of exercise, Dr. Paffenbarger's study also found that
martial arts rated in the Best exercise category for
pulmonary-cardiovascular health.
