The passage approaches a subject whether middle-aged people and elderly people should take part in physical activities. More and more men and women above 40 begin to run and the senior citizens also join the running club.

All these are different to the demand from the old in America. The cardiologist,Running is advantageous to the health of the aged Articles doctor Theodore Gel Crop wishes that elderly people put the nationwide exercise plan into practice. He said: "we are taking a overprotection attitude. Our the middle-aged and the old are always persuaded, or in fact even forced to reduce their physical activity so that come to a degree of atrophy because of the inactivity, and therefore are led to a damaged result-even if it is not fatal". In recent 20 or 30 years, there was an argument about whether the middle-aged should participate in the physical exercise. How to Stop Suicide, the book wrote by P J Stan Crone in 1905, reads: "Sports is a state of mind, which is like the sheep, we follow the bellwether as well. We have heard that "sports are good for you", and thus we regard it as pithy saying no matter it is reasonable, and put our creaking joints and the stiff muscles which don't work through the unnecessary exhaustion just because we treat it as essential accessory of normal life. Please remember, you are not bound to exercise.But now there finally appear the omens of change. One of them is that more and more people over forty begin to run. We can see from the report of Nationwide Data Center of Running: there were about 2250 runners over 40 years old among the 18466 runners who took part in the official events in 1975. Besides, they exercised hard and ran well as well as the young runners in twenties and thirties. In some games by age grading (every 5 years is divided into a grade), the phenomenon is not seldom that champions of higher grade (50 years old to 54 years old, for example) run faster than the champions of lower grade. I met a 72-year-old runner called Lacy E Perry in a race in the city of Soak Sana in New Jersey not long before. He started to run at 60 years old after a doctor had ordered him to do some physical activities. Now he is one of the members of the local Old Defenders Club of Young Men's Christian Association, and he runs for 6 miles a day and can surpass the runners who are of half of his age. He said to me: "I can run till 50 years later by the doctor's words.As mentioned in Chapter 4, Doctor Fred Karsh has proved that physical exercise can prevent or even eliminate several major age-related physiological changes. Moreover, the report of the research in women from 52 years old to 79 years old by Doctor Herbert Devries and Gene Adams (their work are briefly mentioned in the second chapter) in University of Southern California demonstrates that only a three-month exercise can make a tangible result of the improvement of cardiovascular system and the decrease in heart rate at the state of rest.
