Physical fitness and activity such as sports, daily activities and even the running on a treadmill which done regularly can prevent atherosclerosis (heap of fat in the blood vessel wall). This is evident from an autopsy Boston marathon champion seven times, Clarence deMar, which shows the size of coronary blood vessel two to three times normal size and did not find any stenosis (constriction of blood vessel) even though a significant death in the age of 69 years. Physical fitness has benefit effect on reducing risk of atherosclerosis.
Relationship between physical fitness and atherosclerosis prevention was discussed in a talkshow at the ceremony in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia. Aerobic physical activity, especially to improve the flow of blood of a wave that encourage increased production nitrit oxide (NO) and stimulate the formation and release endothelial derive relaxing factor (EDRF), which dilate blood vessel. Thus, this benefit effect on blood vessel prevents atherosclerosis.
Mild physical activity such as walking, or exercises that increase blood flow to be 350 ml per minute (up 150 ml per minute) is more than enough to avoid endotel process of blood vessel atherosclerosis. This benefit of physical fitness can be obtained if only the increased flow of blood through physical activities regularly take place in time long enough (20 minutes to an hour) and carried out regularly for life. In addition to be able to get the benefits in reducing the risk atherosclerosis, physical fitness can bring you to be a fitness model.
