Regularly engaging in varied physical activities could extend lifespan: Study | Fitness News

Published by Parlour News

Regularly engaging in a variety of physical activity could be a good strategy for prolonging one’s lifespan, according to a study. Findings published in the British Medical Journal suggest that a mix of physical activity, rather than doing more of the same, could be linked to a lower risk of death, regardless of total quantity — an active lifestyle is however still important in its own right. The team, including researchers from the US’ Harvard University’s school of public health and China’s First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, said that while physical activity has been consistently linked with a better physical and mental health, evidence is inconclusive as to how varied kinds of physical activity impacts one’s health. Over 70,700 women and 40,600 men, who reported engaging in physical activity and were free of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, were looked at. Physical activity assessments were collected over a follow-up period of 30 years. Higher levels of physical activity were related with a lower baseline prevalence of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, body mass index, a higher …

Anrich Nortje on not playing for South Africa regularly: ‘They haven’t pressed on my button’ | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

South Africa’s Anrich Nortje is one of the quickest bowlers going around in world cricket. Not only is he quick, but he also has the skills to move the ball in both directions at his nasty pace. However, as it always happens with fast bowlers, Nortje has had his fair share of issues with injuries in the last year. In fact, after the 2024 T20 World Cup co-hosted in the West Indies and the USA, he has not been seen in a Proteas jersey. Although he was picked in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, he was once again not fit, and for the upcoming World Test Championship, he has not been named in the squad. “I’ve been available for the last year, from before the World Cup to December, and only got selected again in December to play,” Nortje said, speaking to Sports Boom. “There were a few series I wasn’t picked for, mostly to give opportunities to others. So, from my side, I’ve been available to play for the country, but they …

The inventors of the egg-beater, the country where the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed. New Zealand can both baffle and surprise. It is a country with a population of 5 million, spread out over a lakh square miles. Its population is one fourth that of Mumbai; its span roughly as much as Uttar Pradesh. Yet, size and strength have not prevented them from enjoying sporting success for several decades. On Sunday, its cricket team consigned India — a country of 148 millions as head coach Gautam Gambhir frequently asserts — to its first series whitewash at home. It had earlier vanquished them to claim the World Test Championship mace. New Zealand have reached more semi-finals in 50-over World Cups than any other team. All with a talent depth of one lakh registered cricketers. India, Australia and England have four times the number. Significant dates …
