To compare the long term survival of a group of athletes taking prolonged vigorous physical exercise to that of the general population.
Follow up of a cohort of participants in the Dutch eleven cities ice skating tour (a race and recreational tour) over a distance of 200 kilometers.
Data on participation from the organising committee and data on mortality from all municipalities in The Netherlands.
2259 Male athletes.
Comparison of all cause mortality in male participants in the tour with that in the general population of The Netherlands.
The standardised mortality ratio for all participants during 32 years of follow up was 0.76 (95% confidence interval 0.68 to 0.85), and 0.90 (0.48 to 1.44) for participants in the race, and 0.72 (0.60 to 0.86) for participants in the recreational tour who finished within the time limit.
The capacity for prolonged and vigorous physical exercise, particularly if the exercise is recreational, is a strong indicator of longevity.
比较一组进行长期剧烈体育锻炼的运动员与普通人群的长期生存率。
对参加荷兰十一城滑冰之旅（一场兼具竞赛和休闲性质的200公里行程）的一组参与者进行随访。
来自组委会的参与数据以及荷兰所有市政当局的死亡率数据。
2259名男性运动员。
比较该滑冰之旅男性参与者的全因死亡率与荷兰普通人群的全因死亡率。
在32年的随访期间，所有参与者的标准化死亡率为0.76（95%置信区间0.68至0.85），竞赛组参与者为0.90（0.48至1.44），在规定时间内完成休闲之旅的参与者为0.72（0.60至0.86）。
长期进行剧烈体育锻炼的能力，尤其是如果这种锻炼是休闲性质的，是长寿的有力指标。
