运动是良医还是什么?——“生命过程中的体力活动与健康”国际研讨会综述

Is exercise a good doctor or what? ——A summary of the international symposium on “Physical Activity and Health during Life”

对上海交通大学与中国体育科学学会联合主办的"生命过程中的体力活动与健康"国际研讨会进行综述。中外与会专家、学者围绕"运动是良医还是什么"主题激烈争论。有学者从人文社会学角度提出运动不是医药,而是一种提高人们幸福感的休闲娱乐方式,或者说运动、娱乐或游戏相结合的方式才能更有效地促进人们身心健康。大部分运动生理学和生物学专家基于运动干预的实证研究认为"运动是良医",但也有学者提出运动是一把"双刃剑"。最后达成共识:运动不仅仅是良医。运动不但能够提高身体素质、控制体重、降低诸如心血管疾病等慢性疾病风险、促进大脑发育、提高身体稳定性、保持骨骼肌健康,还有助于缓解压力,提高工作效率以及增强幸福感等。

The authors summarized the international symposium on “Physical Activity and Health during Life”, held jointly by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and China Sports Science Society. Chinese and foreign experts and scholars participating in the symposium had a heated debate about such a theme as “Is exercise a good doctor or what?”. From the perspective of humanistic sociology, some scholars put forward that exercise is not a medicine, but a way of leisure entertainment,which enhances people’s sense of happiness, or only the way that combines exercise and entertainment or game can more effectively promote people’s physical and psychological health. Based on the empirical study of exercise intervention,most exercise physiological and biological experts believed that “exercise is a good doctor”, but some scholars put forward that exercise is a double-edge sword. Finally, a consensus was reached: exercise is not just a good doctor. Exercise is not only able to enhance physical qualities, control body weight, lower the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, promote brain development, increase body stability, maintain skeletal muscle health, but also conducive to relieving stress, improving working efficiency and enhancing sense of happiness, etc.
