Today, more and more people are living with chronic diseases – especially diabetes, which affects millions worldwide, including in Latvia. Diabetes is often called a “silent epidemic” because it develops gradually but can lead to serious health complications for the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nervous system. The good news is that we can all do a lot to reduce the risk or improve our well-being if we already live with diabetes. One of the most effective “medicines” available to everyone is movement.

Fiziskām aktivitātēm ir labvēlīga ietekme uz vairākām fizioloģiskām sistēmām, kuras saslimšanas gadījumā visvairāk ietekmē COVID-19, kā arī tām ir labvēlīga ietekme uz cilvēka imunitāti, vielmaiņu un garīgo veselību. Pagājušā gada pētījumi ir atklājuši saistību starp fizisko aktivitāšu neesamību ar smagas COVID-19 saslimšanas gadījumiem.Izsakoties konkrētāk – ir saikne starp fiziskām aktivitātēm un COVID-19 rezultātiem. Pandēmijas sākumā pētnieki Apvienotajā Karalistē atklāja, ka neveselīgs dzīvesveids, tostarp fiziskā neaktivitāte, paaugstināja hospitalizācijas risku........

Jūs, visticamāk, esat dzirdējuši argumentu, ka sporta zāles un fitnesa klubi ir netīri un var veicināt koronavīrusa izplatīšanos. Šādi apgalvojumi ir nepatiesi, maldinoši un rada nopietnas problēmas fitnesa nozares pastāvēšanai.Ņemot vērā sabiedrības negatīvās attieksmes pieaugumu, nozares pārstāvjivēlas pierādīt, ka fitnesa klubi ir droši un būtiski cilvēka veselībai.IHRSA kā globālai tirdzniecības asociācijai ir unikāla spēja apvienot viedokļus visā pasaulē, lai veicinātu fiziskās aktivitātes, vienlaikus attīstot, aizsargājot un popularizējot nozari.

2020. gada oktobra IHRSA ziņojumā konstatēts, ka 95% sporta klubu biedru pietrūkst vismaz viena sava kluba aspekta, un vairāk nekā puse ir neapmierināti ar savas treniņu rutīnas piespiedu apstādināšanu. Neskatoties uz plašsaziņas līdzekļos parādītiem biedējošiem stāstiem, ka COVID iedvesmotais mājas fitnesa uzplaukums nozīmēs tradicionālo sporta klubu beigas- ir iepriecinoši, ka lielākā daļa sporta klubu dalībnieku vēlas atgriezties pie treniņiem sporta zālē. “Kopš sporta un fitnesa klubu atkārtotas atvēršanas jūnijā un jūlijā mēs esam pieredzējuši, ka lielu biedru skaitu, pēc iespēj.......

Regulāri vingrinājumi vairāk nekā par trešdaļu samazina iespēju nomirt no infekcijas slimībām, piemēram, COVID-19, un par 31% samazina inficēšanās risku, atklāts nozīmīgā pētījumā.Pirmais pasaulē veiktais pētījums par saikni starp vingrinājumiem un imunitāti pret COVID-19 ieteica cilvēkiem nodarboties ar mērenās intensitātes fiziskām aktivitātēm 30 minūtes dienā, piecas dienas nedēļā vai 150 minūtes nedēļā. Ieteicamās fiziskās aktivitātes ir pastaiga, skriešana, riteņbraukšana un spēka vingrinājumi. Šādas fiziskās aktivitātes var padarīt vakcīnas līdz pat 40% efektīvākas, paziņoja ......

Roberts Sallis, M.D., saka: “Lai arī kas notiktu, ir jāļauj cilvēkiem vingrot un būt fiziski aktīviem, mums tas ir jādara, tā ir būtiska dzīves sastāvdaļa.”Veselības saglabāšana ir galvenais fitnesa nozares uzdevums. Pandēmijas laikā nozares uzmanības centrā visu laiku ir bijis sniegt cilvēkiem atbalstu turpināt droši nodarboties ar fiziskajām aktivitātēm, kaut arī klubi bija slēgti. Tajā laikā galvenā uzmanība tika pievērsta stingru drošības pasākumu izstrādei, lai mazinātu saslimstības risku un ļautu fitnesa klubiem atkal turpināt darbu. Neskatoties uz šiem centieniem, plašsaziņas ......
