  • دراسة تكشف: 30 دقيقة يومياً من الرياضة تضيف سنوات لحياتك

    كشفت دراسة علمية حديثة أجراها باحثون في مجال الصحة العامة أن ممارسة نشاط بدني معتدل لمدة 30 دقيقة يومياً يمكن أن يطيل العمر ويحسن جودة الحياة بشكل ملحوظ.
    وأظهرت النتائج التي نُشرت في مجلة “لانسيت” الطبية أن الأشخاص الذين يمارسون المشي السريع أو ركوب الدراجات أو أي نشاط بدني متوسط الكثافة لمدة نصف ساعة يومياً يقل لديهم خطر الوفاة المبكرة بنسبة تصل إلى 28% مقارنة بأولئك الذين لا يمارسون أي نشاط بدني.
    وأكد الباحث الرئيسي في الدراسة، الدكتور جيمس سميث، أن “حتى الكميات الصغيرة من النشاط البدني يمكن أن تحدث فرقاً كبيراً في الصحة العامة”. وأضاف: “لا يحتاج الناس إلى الذهاب إلى صالة الألعاب الرياضية أو ممارسة تمارين شاقة، فمجرد المشي السريع أو صعود الدرج أو القيام بالأعمال المنزلية يمكن أن يكون كافياً”.
    وشملت الدراسة أكثر من 130 ألف شخص من 17 دولة حول العالم، وتمت متابعتهم لمدة 7 سنوات. وأظهرت النتائج أن فوائد النشاط البدني تشمل تقليل خطر الإصابة بأمراض القلب والسكري والسرطان، بالإضافة إلى تحسين الصحة العقلية والنفسية.
    وتوصي منظمة الصحة العالمية البالغين بممارسة 150 دقيقة على الأقل من النشاط البدني المعتدل أسبوعياً، أو 75 دقيقة من النشاط البدني القوي، بالإضافة إلى تمارين تقوية العضلات مرتين أسبوعياً على الأقل.
    وخلصت الدراسة إلى أن دمج النشاط البدني في الروتين اليومي يعد أحد أكثر الطرق فعالية للوقاية من الأمراض المزمنة وإطالة العمر، مؤكدة أن “القليل من الحركة يومياً يمكن أن يحدث فرقاً كبيراً في الصحة العامة”.

  • “بيولي: رحيل إبراهيموفيتش كان صعباً ودوري أبطال أوروبا سيكون مختلفاً”

    في تصريحات نارية أثناء المؤتمر الصحفي الذي يسبق مباراة ميلان أمام نيوكاسل في الجولة الأولى من دوري أبطال أوروبا، أكد مدرب الروسونيري ستيفانو بيولي أن رحيل النجم السويدي المخضرم زلاتان إبراهيموفيتش عن صفوف الفريق كان أمراً صعباً، مشيراً إلى أن المنافسة في البطولة الأوروبية هذا الموسم ستكون مختلفة تماماً.
    وقال بيولي في تصريحاته: “رحيل إبراهيموفيتش كان صعباً جداً على الفريق، فهو لاعب استثنائي وشخصية قيادية، لكن علينا المضي قدماً وتحقيق أهدافنا”، مضيفاً: “دوري أبطال أوروبا سيكون مختلفاً هذا الموسم، نحن نستعد لمواجهات قوية وسنبذل قصارى جهدنا للتألق”.
    وكان إبراهيموفيتش قد أعلن اعتزاله كرة القدم في نهاية الموسم الماضي بعد مسيرة حافلة بالإنجازات مع ميلان، حيث ساهم في قيادة الفريق للتتويج بالدوري الإيطالي موسم 2021-2022، قبل أن يعود مرة أخرى في موسم 2023-2024، لكن مشاركاته كانت محدودة بسبب الإصابات المتكررة.
    ويستعد ميلان لمواجهة نيوكاسل يونايتد في ملعب سان سيرو ضمن الجولة الأولى من دور المجموعات لدوري أبطال أوروبا، وسط طموحات كبيرة لتحقيق نتيجة إيجابية تساعد في بداية قوية للفريق في البطولة القارية.
