The hottest topic in recent times must be the quadrennial World Cup in Qatar.
I heard that the cute mascot "Raib" poked the hearts of many children~
With the arrival of the World Cup, the fiery atmosphere of national sports has now been full. Seeing the running figures of stars from all over the world on the green field, I wonder if the sports cells in you and the children at home have been summoned and are already eager to try?
We all know that the benefits of exercise are endless, especially moderate physical activity, which can have a long-term positive impact on people's physical and mental development.
Studies have found that the benefits of physical activity include, but are not limited to, reducing the risk of a range of diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and also help maintain a healthy weight and mental state.
Since the emergence of the epidemic, everyone has become more aware of the importance of physical exercise. Even at home, you can jump "Liu Genghong" and sweat while making your mood more beautiful.
There is evidence that physical activity can help parents cope with the daily challenges associated with parenting and, if exercised with children, can also strengthen parent-child bonds.
As a mother in front of the screen, do you usually like to exercise? How much exercise is there?
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the University of Southampton found that less than half of mothers achieved the moderate- and high-intensity physical activity recommended by experts. In contrast, mothers whose children were still young did less physical activity.
To study the effect of family composition on mothers' physical activity levels, the researchers analyzed data from 848 women who participated in the Southampton Women's Survey in the United Kingdom.
The women, aged 20~34 years, were recruited between 1998 and 2002 and were followed up in subsequent years. The researchers equipped the participants with measuring devices to assess their activity levels.
It was found that mothers of school-age children engaged in an average of about 26 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day, while mothers with younger children (4 years or younger) engaged in an average of about 18 minutes of physical activity per day.
Moms with multiple children only engage in about 21 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day, and interestingly, mothers with multiple children under the age of 5 do more low-intensity exercise than mothers with multiple school-age children.
Regardless of the age of their children, less than 50% of moms achieve the level of physical activity recommended by experts (150 minutes per week).
If the child is very young or has several children in the family, the mother's physical activity intensity may sound less intense, which may sound like a surprise to many, but this is the first study to quantify its significance.
In this case, mothers need to spend more time taking care of their children, and it is often difficult to find time to exercise, so most of the time they can only do some less intense physical activities.
When children go to school, mothers have the opportunity to do more physical activity. This can happen for many reasons, including restarting your commute, having time to be alone, or taking your kids to high-intensity sports.
In daily life, we often observe that many female friends around us reduce the frequency of exercise after becoming a mother, but also have a lot less opportunities for high-intensity physical exercise. And neither the mother herself nor the family around her realized the importance of this matter.
In fact, the amount of exercise of mothers is closely related to the number and age of their children. And the amount of exercise will directly affect a person's physical and mental health.
Therefore, if you find that the child's mother has few exercise opportunities and insufficient activities, do not ignore it (note: taking children and doing housework is not equal to exercise!). ）。 You know, the health of the mother's physical and mental brain is one of the most critical elements of a family's upward development, and this must be inseparable from the support and encouragement of those around her.
