At one lecture I was taught the reason why "runners" have less probability to get a heart attack. Allegedly, because of running the heart "reveals" its flaws much earlier than when it's too late. Does it make any sense? Like I run, my heart is forced to pump much more and if there is something wrong I could recognize it much earlier. If I would not run, the problem would just grow untill I get heart attack and then it is too late.
It was quite interesting because this explanation it is not that intuitive. So I'm just wondering if there is any connection to this study.
Anyway, thanks for article.
