曾聽人說過:「年齡只不過是數字」,那個「年齡」指的是實際年齡(chronological age),人到中年聞此論調,份覺安慰,幾大認同「對、對、對,數字而已,無需理會!」但諗深一層,此話其實相當主觀,即本人「覺得」自己年輕就是了。當然,自我感覺是重要的,有諸內而形於外,若熟中年仍擁年輕和好奇的心,精神面貌確實會少點歲月痕迹。 但除了主觀的自我感覺外,有否客觀的指標反映一個人有多年輕(或年老)呢?「體能年齡」(fitness age)是近年健康研究認為很重要的概念。一個中年人有幾年輕,就要看其「體能年齡」,而非實際年齡或自我感覺(年輕)的年齡。 上月底,公共衞生領域權威學術期刊《BMC Public Health》,發表了韓國首爾國立大學醫學院團隊的一項大型研究,涉逾五十萬名受訪者,團隊提供了六個客觀指標去反映一個人大致的「體能年齡」,有以下的六個指標:一、Muscle strength(肌肉力量);二、Muscle endurance(肌肉耐力);三、Cardiopulmonary endurance(心肺耐力);四、Flexibility(柔軟度);五、Balance(平衡力);六、Agility(身體敏捷度)。 很喜歡這個「體能年齡」的概念,因為中年朋友以為經常做某類型的運動(如:跑步或打golf)就等如夠,其實不然。當我們漸漸邁向熟齡時,除了熟悉的心肺功能和耐力外,肌力、肌耐力同樣重要(否則會有肌少症,容易跌倒),柔軟度和平衡力更不能少(否則易腰痠骨痛拗柴或因失去平衡力而跌倒),身體敏捷度又與我們的整體拹調和腦袋sharp醒度息息相關。 「體能年齡」這個概念告訴我們,想年輕、逆齡,不是靠打botox,更不能只依賴主觀的自我年輕感覺,而是體能上,我們活像幾多歲。「體能」,才是決定「年齡」的關鍵點。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link
