28、It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
【1】What did the new research find?
A．Running fast benefits all of us.
B．Running is the best exercise.
C．A short time run can be beneficial.
D．A healthy mind encourages us to run.
【2】How did the researchers get the result?
A．By using different drugs on participants.
B．By interviewing some sportsmen.
C．By collecting information on the Internet.
D．By doing experiments and comparisons.
【3】Which is related to our happiness?
A．Cycling.
B．Medicine.
C．Blood flow.
D．Colors.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．We should go for a run in winter.
B．Running really benefits us mentally.
C．We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D．Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
