Frequent ejaculation may decrease prostate cancer riskThey found that men who ejaculated 21 times or more a month were less likely to report https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/" rel="nofollow - prostate cancer at follow-up than those ejaculating four to seven times per month. However, it does not prove that ejaculating more frequently prevents cancer, only that it is associated with a reduction in risk. It might be that a range of other factors such as genetics, lifestyle, number of children, diet, nature of sexual activity and education contribute to this risk, but we cannot say for sure what factors might increase the risk. The researchers offer a number of hypotheses why ejaculation may help reduce prostate cancer risk, such as reducing stress or keeping cell metabolism well regulated. But these suggestions remain in the realm of speculation. Despite any lurid tales you may have heard growing up, https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/sexual-health/masturbation-faqs/" rel="nofollow - masturbation is entirely safe. So if you want to do it as a preventative method then it wouldn't pose any health risks. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/symptoms/" rel="nofollow - Initial signs of prostate cancer usually involve problems with urination, such as needing to urinate more frequently, due to the prostate getting larger. While prostate enlargement can occur as men grow older, it is important to check symptoms like these with your GP.

Determining the Fittest SportSome of the fittest athletes are said to come from the sports of gymnastics, tennis, cross-country skiing, surf lifesaving, triathlon, basketball, ice-hockey, handball, cycling, boxing, squash, soccer and other football codes, though you could go on and on. That does not stop us from giving these results of comparisons between sports and discussing and confusing the issue even more! < width="640" height="160" border="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" ="0" ="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" id="aswift_0" name="aswift_0" style="left: 0px; : ; top: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; width: 640px; height: 160px;">Using direct measurement and expert analysis, the sports of boxing, skiing, squash and tennis have each been labelled as the fittest, and as you can see no one agrees. I have also a discussion about the https://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/fittest-sport/index.htm" rel="nofollow - world's fittest sport , and an https://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/fittest-sport/competition.htm" rel="nofollow - oline vote for the fittest sport , with the winner ironman triathlon. See also the discussion about the https://www.topendsports.com/testing/fittest-athlete.htm" rel="nofollow - Fittest Athletes , who may not necessarily come from the fittest sports. Direct MeasurementOne way to determine which sport is the fittest would be to directly test a group of athletes from different sports on a range of fitness tests, and then rank them on the performances in the tests. Alpine Skiing wins the Canadian ExperimentIn October 2003 a large group of more than 1000 amateur provincial Canadian athletes competed in a series of fitness tests at the Toronto Sky Dome. The athletes were aged between the ages of 6 and 19, representing 16 sports (Alpine Skiing, Archery, Basketball, Bowling, Boxing, Cycling, Fencing, Gymnastics, Lacrosse, OFSAA School Sports, Rowing, Snowboarding, Swimming, Synchronized Swimming, Tennis and Track and Field). The aim of the day was to crown the "Fittest Sport in Ontario," while also promoting physical fitness for Canadian youth. The athletes completed 13 tests to determine their overall fitness level, and the winner of the title "Fittest Sport in Ontario" at the end of the day was Alpine Skiing. This was no fluke - they won the award the following year too. In the table below are some of the tests that were used to determine the fittest sport! As the tests cover the full range of fitness components, the competition was aimed at finding the sport that had the best overall fitness. Individual athletes and sports may stand out in specific tests, but they needed to be good at most of them. There is no doubt that skiing is a very demanding sport. I can imagine that they performed very well on tests of upper body strength, power, agility, lactic and strength endurance.
Expert AnalysisGetting a group of elite athletes from a large range of sports to undertake a series of standardized test would be practically impossible. The alternative is to get experts in sports science, physiologists, trainers and coaches, to rate how they think the athletes would perform in the tests and determine the fittest sports that way. A few groups have tried this approach.

Totally incorrect, it is harder to keep a ball in play in tennis, poor players hit the ball into the net, out of court ,don't reach it. As a matter of fact the better the standard the longer the rallies, especially since serve and volley is out of style

Suspect there it is not quite that simple and you get to a level of play after which any improvement makes for shorter rallys. Most common length of rally on the pro tour is 1. http://www.mattspoint.com/blog/rally-lengths-in-tennis-a-contrasting-perspective |

Not many sports are easy at advanced level when measured by the endurance required. No surprise to hear Whale suggest Squash as being very exhausting , I've never played it but have witnessed physical wrecks coming off hard games. Boxing, Rowing , Bicycle racing, are just a few that leave you stuffed. Most can be Played if not so fit, as the only penalty is fatigue & defeat. The one I can assure you , Where superb fitness is a MUST, or there is a terrible price to pay , is Boxing. Probably the hardest of them all for that reason . The only place on earth where an hour equals 3 minutes , is in a Boxing ring. |

Can't believe how slowly people walk, my casual speed is 4 mph, faster on a long walk The walking speed for those with the average life expectancy was about
0.8 meters per second (about 1.8 mph) for most age groups of both sexes.
Walking speed was a more accurate predictor of life expectancy than age
or sex, the study showed.

Why Men Who Can Do 40 Pushups May Have Better Heart HealthThe ability to do a lot of pushups may be a sign not only of strength, but also of good heart health, a new study suggests. The study tested the stamina of middle-aged male firefighters. It found that those who could do more than 40 pushups in a row had a 96 percent lower risk of being diagnosed with https://www.livescience.com/34733-heart-disease-high-cholesterol-heart-surgery.html" rel="nofollow - heart disease or experiencing other heart problems over a 10-year period, as compared with those men who could do fewer than 10 push ups. However, because the study looked at only male firefighters, who have very active jobs, it's unclear if the findings apply to average Joes. [ https://www.livescience.com/60718-new-ways-to-keep-heart-healthy.html" rel="nofollow - 9 New Ways to Keep Your Heart Healthy ] But the findings suggest that "pushup capacity could be an easy, no-cost method to help assess cardiovascular disease risk," study lead author Justin Yang, an occupational medicine resident at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-02/htcs-pcl021219.php" rel="nofollow - said in a statement .

SUPERB , I couldn't believe it. I didn't think any lady could defeat most men in such a grueling event .. Nothing special about her outward , visual strength . More a stylish feminine type , BUT her strength & endurance , blew me away. Her Boyfriend ( one of the favourites for the events ), fell at an earlier hurdle. |

Diverticulosis. I recently found out a relative suffers from this (severely) and didn't realise it was so common.Western diet induced, I would recommend Millet as a fibre alternative. But do your own research, as many of us over 50 probably have it.

Seen her before. Its obscene., No human is meant to be like that. WHY would you do that I was always a fast walker, and walk for miles non stop. Especially sight seeing in UK. Only way to see the real UK was to walk around the back blocks. And if I wasnt walking I was riding. I do think any sort of physical exercise helps you to age a bit better/slower. ------------- animals before people. |

you were a good athlete unlike me. It is unfathomable to think of what we were capable of when young and so sad to realise how the body has deteriorated many kids these days do nothing physical, not a good state of affairs ------------- Victor Orban 1.74 m, Michael Bloomberg 1.73 m, Emmanual Macron 1.77 m, George Soros 1.8 m |

Me too but now I’m bone on bone in both knees that feel like egg shells. Really miss being able to run. It was a passion

I wonder what makes a person either walk fast or slow ? Surely not a physical thing

| We didn't have a car so always walked everywhere. At high school I hated waiting for the bus and used to walk fast to try to beat it. Sometime I did. So far as running was concerned - last every race I was hopelessly slow. Then after the children I've found I slowed down. Whether to walk with them or what I don't know but I've never got that speed back and now ever 7k sees me out with blisters and hip aching. Old age sucks and I'm not even into it yet. Only just 60. |
