Since childhood, we have all been taught that physical education and sports are the best friends of a strong and healthy body. Sometimes physical work was equated with physical work. She, according to many, develops muscles and thereby makes a person healthy and seasoned. However, it is not. Physical work leads to a disproportionate development of individual muscle groups, and health from it only worsens. Yes, and the use of sports by some researchers questioned, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. net Who works, he does not engage in charging Many of those who perform heavy physical work, they think that they do not have to play sports - the workload at the workplace allows you to keep yourself in good shape. As found out last year by Croatian researchers, it is not so.

The fact is that in most cases the physical load at work, unlike exercises, is not chosen by volume, intensity and duration. That is, those who believe that they are engaged in charging at work only stand, walk, lift weights or work with their hands. As a result, their arm muscles develop well, but the rest of the musculature can be even worse than those who work in the office and do not do sports at the same time.

The study of Croatian scientists involved men aged 20 to 60 years, divided into two groups, differing in intensity of workplace stresses. To test the strength and elasticity of the muscles, the participants of the experiment were offered several exercises and only in one of them - the compression of the fingers - those who did the hard work showed great muscle strength.

In other exercises, especially those showing the elasticity of muscles and ligaments, office workers who did not go in for sports were far ahead. These results suggest that despite physical stress at work, it is necessary to perform a set of exercises that makes the load on all muscles uniform.

Physical work is certainly more easily tolerated by young people. And, at the age of 35 years, it can be useful. But people older than middle age can be contraindicated, even sports.
