There is now clear scientific evidence linking regular aerobic physical activity to a significant cardiovascular risk reduction, and a sedentary lifestyle is currently considered one of the five major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In the European Union, available data seem to indicate that less than 50% of the citizens are involved in regular aerobic leisure-time and/or occupational physical activity, and that the observed increasing prevalence of obesity is associated with a sedentary lifestyle. It seems reasonable therefore to provide institutions, health services, and individuals with information able to implement effective strategies for the adoption of a physically active lifestyle and for helping people to effectively incorporate physical activity into their daily life both in the primary and the secondary prevention settings. This paper summarizes the available scientific evidence dealing with the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular health in primary and secondary prevention, and focuses on the preventive effects of aerobic physical activity, whose health benefits have been extensively documented.
目前有明确的科学证据表明，定期进行有氧体育活动可显著降低心血管疾病风险，而久坐不动的生活方式目前被视为心血管疾病的五大主要风险因素之一。在欧盟，现有数据似乎表明，不到50%的公民参与定期的有氧休闲和/或职业体育活动，而且观察到的肥胖患病率上升与久坐不动的生活方式有关。因此，向机构、卫生服务部门和个人提供信息，以便实施有效的策略来采用积极的生活方式，并帮助人们在一级和二级预防环境中将体育活动有效地融入日常生活，似乎是合理的。本文总结了关于体育活动与一级和二级预防中心血管健康之间关系的现有科学证据，并重点关注有氧体育活动的预防作用，其对健康的益处已得到广泛记录。
