研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：騎車上下班同樣能達(dá)到健身的效果

最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在減肥這件事上，騎自行車上班和去健身房鍛煉一樣有效。

A study of 130 overweight people discovered those who commuted daily by bike for six months shed virtually as many pounds as those who embarked on a weight-loss fitness programme.

一項(xiàng)針對(duì)130名超重者的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，連續(xù)6個(gè)月每天騎自行車通勤的人，與參加減肥健身計(jì)劃的人減掉的體重幾乎一樣多。

Those who exercised in their leisure time lost 9.9lbs (4.5kg) over the study period while those who cycled lost 9.2lbs (4.2kg)

研究期間，那些在閑暇時(shí)間鍛煉的人減掉了9.9磅(4.5公斤)，而騎車的人減掉了9.2磅(4.2公斤)。

"This is good news to the many overweight people who may not have the time or inclination to join a fitness centre, because they also have to pick up their children and cook dinner after work," said Professor Bente Stallknecht, of the University of Copenhagen.

哥本哈根大學(xué)教授本特·斯托克奈特表示：“這對(duì)許多可能沒有時(shí)間或意愿去健身房的超重者來說是個(gè)好消息，因?yàn)樗麄兿掳嗪筮€要接孩子、做晚飯。”

"Our results show that it is possible to combine transport to and from work with effective physical exercise."

“我們的研究結(jié)果表明，把上下班通勤和有效的身體鍛煉結(jié)合起來是有可能的。”

The participants, who were aged between 20-45 years old, lived in Greater Copenhagen and had a BMI of 25-35 kg/m2, making them officially overweight.

這項(xiàng)研究的參與者年齡在20至45歲之間，居住在大哥本哈根地區(qū)，身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)(BMI)在25至35之間，這使他們成為正式超重人群。

The participants were divided into four groups of which one had to ride the bike to and from work, for an average of eight miles each day. Two other groups had to do physical exercise five times a week for either 55 minutes or 35 minutes.

這些參與者被分為四組，其中一組必須騎自行車上下班，平均每天騎行約8英里。另外兩組分別進(jìn)行每周五次、每次時(shí)長(zhǎng)為55分鐘或35分鐘的身體鍛煉。

The last group made no lifestyle change. After six months all groups, except for the control group, had less fat mass, with the only significant differences of weight loss in the lower intensity exercise group, who only lost 5.7lbs (2.6kg).

最后一組的生活方式照常。6個(gè)月之后，除對(duì)照組外，所有組員的脂肪量都有所下降，唯一的顯著區(qū)別在于鍛煉強(qiáng)度較低一組的組員只減掉了5.7磅(2.6公斤)。

"Riding the bike to and from work is at least as effective a means for reducing fat mass as exercising during your leisure time," said doctoral student Jonas Salling Quist from the Department of Biomedical Sciences.

哥本哈根大學(xué)生物醫(yī)學(xué)系博士生喬納斯·薩靈·奎斯特說：“騎車上下班至少是一種與在閑暇時(shí)間鍛煉身體同樣有效的降低脂肪量的手段。”
