Everybody knows about the benefits of regular sports training and exercise, but few give them at least a minimum amount of time, referring to the intense work schedule and the lack of opportunities for physical exercise.

Back in the 1970s, US doctors have developed a system that allows you to engage three times a day for ten minutes, which was believed to equivalent 30-minute series of exercises, and thus people can stick to the usual routine. In 2008, scientists supplemented and improved the system of recommendations: a person must dedicate physical activity at least 2, 5 hours per week, this approach should not be less than ten minutes.

Recently a group of researchers from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, led by Professor Katherine Zeke decided to once again take up the issue, and later published the results of his experiments, according to which even a 1-min time for physical education during the day can have a positive effect.

Scientists have studied the daily routine and habits of more than 4, 5 thousand people aged 18 to 64 years and found that short-term heavy loads (such as brisk walking) is almost equivalent to a 10-minute moderate sports. Such outbursts perfect burn extra calories and reduce the risk of various diseases, including - chronic heart disease.

It turned out that men adhere to such a system in general has received increased physical activity for more than four hours a week, and women - about 2 and 4 hours, allowing you to follow the recommendations of doctors, without being distracted by daily activities.

«When it comes to maintaining the tone and health promotion, every minute counts. Brisk walking, climbing stairs, exercises with a rope - all this does not take much time, but will help you feel much better, "- said Professor Jesse Fang, deputy dean of the faculties of the University of Utah.
