(2015·常德质检)Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in America.Many theories,even some mystical ones,have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging.The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain (or achieve) physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart,lungs,and circulatory(血液循环的)systems.If these systems are fit,the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies.One can train more specifically,as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football,but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.It is worth doing that:This sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease,the number one cause of death in America.
