LONDON: First-time marathon runners can add years to their lives and reap the health rewards of lower blood pressure and healthier arteries, even if they take on the challenge in mid- to later life, research showed on Monday.
In the study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Manisty's team looked at 138 first-time marathon runners from the 2016 and 2017 London Marathon. The scientists examined the participants before training and after they had completed the 26.2-mile event to see if successfully taking on a marathon had affected their levels of arterial stiffening.Hardening of the arteries is a normal part of aging. It increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart attack and related conditions which are also linked to dementia and kidney disease.
The findings show"it is possible to reverse the consequences of aging on our blood vessels with real-world exercise in just six months", Manisty said.
