Cyclists live longer?

This may mean that very heavy exercise does not seem bad on the cardiovascular system, according to European scientists. Of course, the results of this study should be taken with caution because the mass use of drugs, particularly EPO, in cycling started at the beginning of the 90s, while in the 60s and 70s was not so widespread.

The study, whose results were presented at the Congress of the European Society of Cardiology included 786 French cyclist all participants of "Tour de France" since the 1947 until 2012, and it has been established that the mortality among them was 41 percent lower than the average for French men.

Prof. Xavier Jouven from the hospital "Georges Pompidou" in Paris, who led this research, said that the reduction in the percentage of mortality is significantly, and the study result suggests that doctors should insist more on the stronger exercises.

"We should more encourage people to stronger exercise. If there is any danger of a stronger exercise, it was be shown in this study." said prof. Jouven.

Cyclists who take part in the "Tour de France" - that is compared with several days of running marathons which would lasted for nearly three weeks - in fact have a 33 percent lower risk of dying from a heart attack than other people, according to the survey.

In fact, they rarely die of any other disease, including cancer, said prof. Jouven.

Once upon a time the sport was much closer to the people. Nowadays, it is more and morebusiness and marketing. Today, the great sporting competitions are so expensive that they are unthinkable without a sponsor. For the organization of sporting events, in addition to the sponsorship money, equally is acceptable and sponsorship in commodities. Thus ensure very relevant, namely the inevitable sequence as the official carrier, the ball, the official water, mobile operator, insurance, banks, etc.

Successful organization of sports events requires knowledge of specific skills such as planning, organization, coordination, promotion ... Planning and realization of a sporting event therefore requires both commitment management and marketing team. Sporting event, especially those that should be used for the promotion of sports organizations, creating an image or collection of funds could hardly be successful without a carefully worked out marketing plan. There are several areas of the marketing plan should focus, and certainly the most important areas are advertising and public relations.

But since this article is about the sport, about these topics we will on another occasion.
