Social sport to add 10 years to your life – TENNIS!<\/h2>\n

Tennis players could live an average of 9.7 years longer than someone who does not exercise when compared to solitary exercise such as jogging who could live 3.2 years (which of course is better than nothing though!).<\/p>\n

The study led by Saint Luke\u2019s Health Centre in Kansas City<\/strong><\/a> researched the health and lifestyles of 8,577 people (adults aged between 20 and 93) in Copenhagen and found social sports may have extra benefits!<\/p>\n

The researchers said that while raising the heart rate through exercise is important for longevity, connecting with other people is also a vital part of how tennis can add 10 years to your life.<\/p>\n

The research on how tennis may add 10 years to your life<\/h3>\n

When it came to the more solitary sports, they had less of an impact on people\u2019s life expectancy \u2013 cyclists live an average of 3.7 years longer, swimmers 3.4 years and joggers just 3.2 years.<\/p>\n

The researchers compared people\u2019s lifestyle details, including how often they played each sport, if at all, with national death records.<\/p>\n

The most popular sport in the study was cycling YET tennis players lived on average of 6 years LONGER!<\/p>\n

Researchers believe this is because of the social interaction of tennis as opposed to cycling.<\/p>\n

Study author James O\u2019Keefe told the New York Times, \u201cRaising your heart rate is important, but it looks like connecting with other people is, too.\u201d<\/em> He suggests people who cycle or run alone could consider finding a partner or group to join them to boost the long-term health effects.<\/p>\n

So stick to your exercise of choice, recruit a buddy to join you and you could add 10 years to your life!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about the support to help you add 10 years to your life!<\/p>\n
