Reading

Read the text on the effects of exercising and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
How our Bodies Respond to Exercise
In this week's Health Peek we'll have a brief look at a couple of issues connected to exercising: bone-building
and digestion.
Exercise and Bone Health
Doing a sport or exercising regularly helps build muscles, strengthen ligaments and improve circulation, but it
also affects the framework on which our muscles move: our bones. Weightbearing exercises, such as walking,
hiking, jogging, climbing stairs, tennis, and dancing can affect bone health. This type of exercise works our
muscles and the bones to which they are attached by ligaments. The pulling movement of our muscles against
our bones during exercise stimulates the bone tissue to produce more bone mass. This means that without regular
exercising our body doesn't renew our bones and they become very fragile, leading to more frequent bone
fractures. The other negative effects of insufficient exercise are injuries such as joint sprains, torn ligaments, or
swellings.
If done in moderation and correctly, weight-bearing sports and activities help build and maintain strong muscles
and have excellent cardiovascular benefits. However, over-exercising or exercising incorrectly can strain our
muscles and ligaments, and sometimes even trigger negative changes in our bones. It is therefore important to
exercise correctly and not to overdo any weight-bearing exercises.
The Effects of Exercise on Our Digestion
Doctors and fitness professionals often stress the importance of eating before we exercise. This is due to the
fact that our bodies need energy and stamina to be able to cope with sports or other physical activities. But many
people complain about problems with digestion after exercising. To reduce the negative side effects of sports
and exercise, it is important to know what and when to eat before long or heavy physical activity.
One of the benefits of exercise is that is strengthens our muscles, including the muscles of our stomach and our
intestines. Better circulation, an increased heart rate, and faster oxygen transfer through the our lungs all help
with digestion. But if we eat too much or too soon before exercising, the physical activity will cause negative
effects. When we exercise, the blood flow to the digestive system is reduced, because it increases in the working
muscles instead, dramatically slowing down digestion. The effect of this is feeling uncomfortable or even sick,
sometimes with sharp pains in our stomach and digestive system. Timing and the amount of food are therefore
key to feeling comfortable during and after exercising.

1 According to the article, weight-bearing exercises strengthen bones. ____

2 The article claims that a regular exercise routine often leads to bone injuries. ____
3 New research shows that is important to eat a balanced meal prior to exercise. ____
4 The article suggests that physical fitness aids digestion in general but completely stops the process during
exercise. ____
5 The article explains that digestion is slower during exercise because blood circulation in our muscles
increases. ____
