| Chinanews, Shanghai, December 19 – Last Friday, Shanghai Municipal Administration of Sport released a report on Shanghainese' physical conditions, based on the 2nd National Physical Conditions Report by the State Administration of Sport of China. Shanghainese's physical conditions index is 106.24, the highest, while the average figure is 100.75 nationwide.
Compared with 2000, 3.3% more Shanghainese go in for regular exercises nowadays, especially senior citizens, about 40% of whom take exercises 4 to 5 times a week, while many young people do physical exercises out once or twice in a week. Many senior citizens have kept the good habit for more than 5 years, which is an impressive figure. That well explains why 93.1% of senior Shanghainese are in good physical condition, 18.9% higher than the national figure, and 49.5% of them are even in “excellent”condition.
However, male Shanghainese' physical conditions brings more worries than joys, for 36.8% of them are overweighted, 2.9% higher than the figure in 2000, and many of them suffer from hypertension, diabetes1, high blood fat, etc.
Though Shanghainese' physical conditions are generally satisfactory, it still requires time and effort to encourage people there to take part in sports, which will guarantee them a healthier and happier future, especially in the hustle2 and bustle3 of a metropolis4.
