in the army. After we all left the army, we continued this Aerobic exercise, we

did more Aerobic exercise to maintain our fitness but over the last 30 years

since I left the army I have been to a lot of funerals latly for those same

people, most died of cancer all of us had and have wore out joints, so I really

fell that all we really did years ago was just wore our self out. and Aerobic

exercise is more damaging them it cracked up to be, What do you think Cheers

Aerobic exercise 'a waste of time'

" Doesn't benefit everyone equally "

" Usefulness determined by genes "

Research " could improve healthcare "

MILLIONS of people who try to keep fit by jogging, cycling or going to the gym

could be wasting their time, a study revealed today

The international research, led by the University of London, found that aerobic

exercise does not benefit everyone in equal measures, and its usefulness is

determined by a person's genes.

According to the results, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology today,

20 per cent of people do not receive any health benefits from aerobic exercise.

The study, which stretched from London to Ontario, saw an international team of

researchers from 14 institutions examine the human genome to find a way of

predicting who would benefit the most from exercise.
