　　据英国《镜报》报道，一项最新研究表明，每周运动2.5小时可以有效降低流感的发病率。不过，这里所提及的运动，必须是能够使身体出汗的剧烈运动，比如跑步、快速骑自行车或者橄榄球等。而慢走、慢跑等非剧烈运动则起不到类似功效。来自英国伦敦大学卫生与热带医学院的研究团队经过调查发现，每周2.5小时的剧烈运动能够使流感发病率降低大约10%。
        　　这项研究跟踪调查了4800多名参与者，结果显示，在刚刚过去的冬季流感高发季中，被调查者的流感患病率由之前的6%下降到4.7%。其中，儿童的患病率由8%降为5%。医学院的阿尔玛•阿德勒博士表示，“研究表明，每个人都可以通过运动来降低自身的流感发病率。另外，我们对运动与流感等疾病之间的关系非常感兴趣，今后将进一步分析和研究相关课题。”
        　　Doing at least 2.5 hours a week of activity that leads to sweating or hard breathing reduces flu or flu-like illness by around 10%
        　　Taking part in vigorous exercise - such as running, fast cycling or rugby - cuts the risk of catching flu by around 10%, research suggests.
        　　Doing at least 2.5 hours a week of activity that leads to sweating or hard breathing reduces flu or flu-like illness, the analysis found.
        　　More gentle pursuits, such as walking or light jogging, were found to have little effect.
        　　Experts at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine examined data from its online flu study, Flusurvey.
        　　They found overall flu levels across the UK appear to be down on last year, with the flu season apparently curbed by a lack of illness among children and young people.
        　　Over the winter flu season, 4.7% of people were believed to have flu compared to 6% the previous year.
        　　Some 5% of children were reported to have flu, compared to almost 8% the previous year.
        　　More than 4,800 people have taken part in this year’s Flusurvey so far, with the findings released to mark National Science & Engineering Week
        　　Dr Alma Adler, research fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: “We’re really interested in the preliminary findings around fitness activity and flu-like illness, as exercise is something that everyone can do to reduce your chance of having flu.
        　　“We need to treat this result cautiously as these are preliminary findings, however they are consistent with findings for other conditions and really show the health benefits of exercise.
        　　“Although many people have dodged the flu bullet this winter, flu can occur at any time, so taking advantage of the better weather is a great opportunity to get out and get fit to ward off flu this spring.”
