Atletas de fim de semana
há benefícios nessa prática?
Palavras-chave:
Exercício, mortalidade, sistema cardiovascular, neoplasias, aptidão físicaResumo
A alegada falta de tempo induz as pessoas a fazerem exercícios apenas aos finais de semana, hábito considerado inadequado por muitos profissionais. No entanto, as evidências mostram que, se por um lado, pode ocorrer aumento no risco de lesões osteomusculares, por ou- tro, os atletas de fim de semana que alcançam a recomendação de 150 minutos de atividade física moderada ou 75 minutos de atividade intensa apresentam risco de morte por todas as causas, por problemas cardiovasculares e por cânceres semelhantes àqueles que realizam essa atividade ao longo da semana. Tal fato favorece a que médicos incentivem os pacientes a aproveitarem o final de semana para melhorar seus níveis de saúde.
