It was assumed that the major athletes, who presumably exercised the hardest, would have the greatest longevity, but in fact, it was the minor athletes who lived the longest. What does this means? for starters, when it comes to life-extending physical activity, moderation is best. there`s no need to train like an Olympic athlete, because too much is just bad as too little.
